Before you send your resume:

  • We're an independent bookstore, so the pay is terrible.

  • Even though the pay is terrible, we love our staff, so full-time employees receive free health and dental insurance.

  • We look for readers who like to talk about books and like to serve the public.  Some bookstore experience is always nice, some retail experience is almost necessary.

  • Ixnay on the cat allergies.  Spike is here to stay.

  • Be ready to lift boxes and boxes and boxes of books.  Be prepared to carry boxes and boxes and boxes of books up and down stairs.

Do You Purchase Used Books?

Short Answer: Why, yes we do!

Long Answer:  We take as many used books as we can.  Sometimes our back room overfills so we have to take the occasional break, so be sure to call (314-367-6731) before you drop them off. 

Our used book buyer, Sean Semones will take a look at your books and contact you to let you know what we can or cannot take.

 

Before You Pack Up Your Books:

  • We are a general bookstore, so we can't appraise antiques and other treasures.

  • We generally offer 5% of the cover price in cash or 10% of the cover price in store credit for each book.

  • We do not take westerns, textbooks, romance novels or encyclopedias
