The owners and staff and Annie’s Book Stop of Worcester would like to thank their customers and friends for all their support in 2019, and look forward to continuing to serve you in the New Year at our little bookstore that’s bigger on the inside.
Come in out of the cold and enjoy a complementary cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate with us!
The monthly book special for January 2020 is REBECCA by Daphne DuMaurier; our mass market paperback edition is discounted 41% off cover price.
Our mission has always been and continues to be the value proposition for central New England and beyond.
- Our New Arrivals shelf is overflowing with used book trade-ins, and we continue to add to our publisher displays of new books for children, teens, and adults, as well as our vintage titles from the 1890s to the 1970s.
- Our new books are ALWAYS discounted at either 20%, 25%, 30%, 40% and 50% off list prices for your shopping needs. As always, our used books range from 50% to 90% off of cover price, and there are additional savings for our newsletter subscribers. We also offer an educator discount for teachers, certified homeschoolers, and licensed daycare centers.
- We stock comics and magazine preservation supplies… comics bags for Golden Age, Silver Age, and Current Age titles, as well as Current Age backing boards. Our prices are $3.75 per 100 bags, any size, and $7.50 per 100 backing boards. Compare that to the going rate of $14.00 to $18.00 per hundred.
- Our selection changes daily, with customer trade-ins of used titles as well as shipments from publishers and wholesalers. You are bound to find something for any interest, and we take special orders and do book searches as well.
- Don’t forget! We also offer “from our door to your door” mail order fulfillment, just one of the many ways in which we serve you, our customers, as Worcester’s full-service bookstore.
