Maxwell's House of Books

Good work by LMPD. I hope the rest of those involved will be identified, arrested and charged soon.

Our manager says we’re open. He wants to thank his human employees and their friends for staying awake multiple nights, both during the riot last Saturday and following it to protect the store from harm. We’ve got a bit of a different look in front now, but we’re open. Our wonderful friends and family built and decorated it. We also want to thank all of you who called, messaged us, checking in on us Saturday night and Sunday.

Our manager, Rorschach, has opened the store for walk in business. We look forward to seeing our customers again. He does request that you wear a mask and practice social distancing.

Our manager understands this is a hard time for all and though we are keeping our heads above water with online sales, we also realize that with libraries closed, people need a source for books. We can and will take online orders, call first and will send books. We also will provide various titles for free pickup. They include some academic press, some antique books, some sci-fi, some mystery and some childrens books. If you are out to get groceries or picking up food near our store, please check the front free box and feel free to take a book or two.

In accordance with our manager's wishes, and acting out of an abundance of caution, we are closed to the public. If there is a specific title you are looking for, we are at the store and will find it for you, but to maintain social distancing, we are not allowing browsing in the stacks. If you are looking for a book and would like it mailed to you, give us a call and we can accept credit cards over the phone, Paypal or Venmo. Stay healthy fellow readers.

Happy to be a (very small) part of ComicCon 2019. See our books at the Pennyworth Experience.
