Why BIrdwhistell Books?

Why are we starting a used bookstore in 2023?

• It's not like used bookstores are big money-making businesses...in fact, it's hard to find one still open even in bigger cities;
• It's not like people are starving for entertainment options...honestly, between YouTube, streaming services, and social media you could entertain yourself to death; and
• It's not like people are hurting to buy new and used books...Amazon has about any book one could ever want at the click of a button.

​So I'll ask once again....why are we starting a used bookstore in 2023?

• Because we believe finding discarded books and ideas and bringing them back to our community is a good in and of itself, regardless of its profitability. As long as we can break even, then spending our days searching for, reading, and passing on discarded books seems like a good way to spend a life.
• Because we believe that books do not merely entertain...they offer one of the best avenues to expanding your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. A good book doesn't merely amuse and distract you from this world. Instead it enriches and deepens your intellectual, emotional, and spiritual connection to people and places throughout space and time.
• Because we believe that some of the best books are not the ones you always start out looking for. People need spaces to browse and stumble upon ideas they haven't thought of yet. We do not have a selection that compares to Amazon, and if you are looking for a particular title then we cannot guarantee we'll have it. However, if you spend some time browsing our shelves, you might just find the perfect book you didn't even know you wanted.  

That's why we are starting a used bookstore in 2023...we hope you check it out.
