the bookshelf

the bookshelf is the independently owned and awesome local bookstore. if you are from the area you will remember they used to be over by keglers and suburban lanes. the bookshelf has been located on 139 greenbag rd in morgantown for 3 years now. after labor day they will be beginning their 36th year in business in morgantown! and they say that local businesses can't make it. jim sachse (pronounced sax) owner of the bookshelf proves that local businesses can survive.

there are lots of great things about the bookshelf. here are just a few:
  • get 10% off new books everyday (with no silly membership card to buy)
  • purchase used paperback books at 60% of the publisher's price
  • take advantage of their book trade policy
  • special order books at no extra charge (some exceptions do apply - see store for details)
  • local artist's can display their work
  • if you are a member of (or want to start) a book club you can hold your meetings at the bookshelf for free
  • receive friendly and well-informed customer service (julian has been working at the bookshelf for 10 years and knows what he's talking about.)
