Phone service restored

We were notified Friday morning that our phone number – 215.662.5780 – has been restored, after three weeks of daily contacts with the phone company and a formal complaint with the Federal Communications Commission. We hope to have voice mail restored this weekend.

Harry Potter & the Cursed Child

Update: We are sold out, but have a new shipment on the way. Copies will be available Tuesday afternoon.

At the stroke of midnight, our sealed case of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be levitated from our window, and the seals preserving its contents from view will burst.

We will open the doors at 11:30, Saturday night; begin distributing books at the stroke of midnight; and remain open until the throngs have dispersed.

Our phone remains disabled, we can temporarily be reached at 215.386.1750
