gently used books of douglassville has kindly donated four $5 gift cards for us to give away with news, not blues. we'll be giving away one of those four gift cards every few weeks. today starts the contest for the first gift card.


comment below on this post to enter for a chance to win the gift card !

thankfully, despite the dreadful current condition of the national and even our local economy, gently used books is doing considerably well.



in fact, in recent months, the store expanded from two rooms to three rooms. with this recession taking its toll across the board, this news about a local used bookstore, or any  business, is a refreshing point.



the middle room of the store is dedicated solely to a wide collection of used children's books, which are a great way for parents to find cheap copies of classics and for new elementary school teachers to begin filling their classrooms with plenty to read to their students.

and beyond that, the selection available because of trade-ins is also something that makes this store a unique, valuable asset to our region. plus, purchases can include 50% store credit usage via trade-ins. quite a deal !

  5. Gently used books is an fantastic book shop. It's much larger than I expected it to be once I was inside. I could have spent hours in there. Tons and tons of great books, something for everyone. Cookbooks, kids books, art books, romance, poetry and more! I'm glad to have this shop in our area.

  6. My husband's been to Gently Used Books and couldn't say enough about it. I've been meaning to go but haven't gotten there yet! Maybe the $5 gift card is just what I need for motivation to get over there!!!
