What did Raven's Tale offer you?

Our LAST DAY of book sales was August 28, 2009
Sorry, but it was on that date that most of these services went away.

a selection of the finest new books available
- we are a general bookstore, which means we try to cover all the bases of the book world, but we are know for our modern fiction,       mystery, and a good children's selection
- take a look around at everything when you stop by and you're sure to find something interesting...if you don't..YOU NEED HELP!

a staff made up of people who love books
- nobody makes much money in an independent bookstore - it's a love of books, a love of being around books, and the chance of getting the right book together with the right reader that causes such great people to be found working in independent bookstores

easy special ordering
- we try to make special ordering those books that you can't find as easy & painless as possible
- order in-person, by phone, fax, mail, or email at nextchap@aol.com
- most come within a few days / publisher orders take a few weeks
- nothing to prepay
- pay by charge card on the phone and we can ship your book right to you

teacher discounts
- we offer a 15% discount on purchases over $25 (20% discount over $500) for books to be used in the classroom

we accept purchase orders
- from schools, businesses, & other groups, non-profit or not

discounts for businesses & book clubs that buy in quantity
- we offer a 15% discount when you purchase five or more copies of a title at one time
         (this depends on what WE have to pay, but MOST of the time we can do something for a group that's buying all the books at one time)

gift certificates
- available in any amount, there is no expiration date on them, and they're the perfect gift of choice

get our e-mail LIST
- this is our email list that keeps our customers informed about store events and news
- all you need to do to be on the list - is to fill out one of our simple cards on the counter or sign up on the homepage of this website
- we promise that the information you give us will NEVER be shared with ANYONE else

book signings, readings, book clubs & other special events
- since we opened as Mansion Book Merchants back in 1987, we have held hundreds of events in and outside of our stores, and we're     always open to different kinds of events - the limits are just time, money & public interest, so if you've got a thought for an event just get in touch with us.

...here are some of the writers that we have hosted in the store, or sold books for at events are:

free gift wrapping
- we have a selection of paper & ribbons - always better looking than a brown bag

we accept MC, VISA, AMEX, DISCOVER and debit cards
- in the store or over the phone

mailing
- we can wrap & mail your books for you if you like - for the cost of a mailer & shipping

plenty of parking - 2 & 3 hours free & then you can get more in the parking garage & city lots
- there's street parking in front of the store and a parking garage not too far away
