Help Computer! Massive Sale

We had a mild computer melt down, so the weekly new stuff list will be up in a few days. Seems alot of people’s computers were freaking out this week maybe 2012 is coming a few years early.

But aside from that its all good at the store and I want to alert all loyal customers that we have been doing some major shelf rearranging and consolidating. So to make room there are tons of amazing books now back in the sale area. If you had you eye on some of those old Love and Rockets books or those old Crumb books we had for a while; they are now all priced to move!!!! PLUS SO MANY MORE TITLES!

These deals are in store only, Sorry no mail order..thats how good they are. Stop by before these books find other homes!
