Closed Thanksgiving

Bindlestiff will be closed Thanksgiving & Black Friday (Nov. 24 & 25), and also Wednesday, Nov. 23 for travel.

We will resume our regular hours Saturday, Nov. 26, at Noon.

Giant Book Sale

Bindlestiff Books will hold a two-day sidewalk sale Saturday, Nov. 12, and Sunday, Nov. 13. We’ll start at 11 a.m., and look to shut down at 2 in the afternoon (though we won’t chase folks away if we’re thronged – the store will be open until 7 p.m.).

We need to clear space for new books (and allow some overcrowded sections to breathe a bit), and so are clearing out surplus inventory. There will be deep, deep discounts on hundreds of titles from most sections. Children’s books, fiction, history, politics and much more, for as little as $2. If you buy too much we can provide boxes to haul your books away.

Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them

As you know by now, if you’re at all inclined to care, the first in a series of movies based on this short book is being released Nov. 18. We have the book as part of a slipcased set of books referenced in the Harry Potter series.

The screenplay for the first movie, and also a scrapbook based on the film (including maps, posters and other removable items), will be released that day. We will have copies available in the store at noon.
