Let us know how we can help you find
books for your collection or reference.
The Story Shop has been selling used and rare books
since 1963 and selling on-line
since 1995.
Contact us by phone or email if you have a collection you would like to sell. For estate settlements, formal or informal appraisals are available on
one book or a large collection.
We can repair books in your collection, touch up your cloth bindings with dye or treat leather bindings that have become brittle and dry. We offer re-sewing, cleaning,
hinge repair, tear repair, spine reattachment, regluing of softcover
books, and more. We will also place your dustjackets in new,
removable mylar sleeves for years of archival protection.
We can come to you in the central Indiana area, or, send
them to us for major or minor repairs.
If your book is important to you, it's important to us! Estimates
available.
PAGES
Here are books with pages white or browning
held up to bare bulbs or sitting unread beneath cobwebs
soft with folds and thumbed edges, or stiff in new jackets
containing words of love, science, pain, joy
a philosopher’s life work
a dreamer’s passion
One book lies open and abandoned on a straight wooden chair
another under glass smudged with prints
and thousands more fill oak shelves
left waiting for you to come to hold them
to open them and let them take you
They sit and murmur to each other
each in its own tongue with its own vocabulary
but hearing only the words from others that they, themselves, contain
teaching the same lessons to each other over and again
but leaving no new impressions
on their neighbors' deep-etched leaves
