 FAQs

  • Books will be available for pickup, delivery, or shipped the first week of the month starting September 2024. You will receive an email once it's available.

  • The picks will hopefully feel like an extension of our store -- a compelling title you may or may not have heard of. For small press titles, expect to get a mix of new independent hits and looked-over gems. It will be a great chance to keep up with your writer's favorite writers. 

    Non-fiction titles may be political or art and music-focused. This summer, our two favorites in the category were "When the Clock Broke" by John Ganz and "Big Fiction" by Dan Sinykin.

  • We can't do substitutions on book of the month titles, but we DO offer a 5% discount to subscribers and are more than happy to include the additional title in your monthly pick-up or delivery. 

    You can also Request a Title online here.

  • Yes! Subscription permitting. As long as the program grows and allows us to devote more time to it, we'd love to get more into sci-fi, children's books, philosophy -- whatever else you think we're missing!

  • We've included a lot of extras in the subscription price -- discord, two pick-up locations as well as FREE local delivery -- and we think it will feel more than worth it.
