Pictures of recent events
The Odyssey Bookshop is now one of
four independent bookstores participating in WAMC's Roundtable on Tuesday mornings,
just after the 10:00 news. People from the Odyssey will be on about once a
month, talking about our favorite books. The Odyssey Bookshop 413-534-7307 email odysseybks@aol.com

Used, Signed and Remaindered Books Throughout the Odyssey Bookshop, you will see this label on the spines or backs of many books.
These are used or remaindered books, and they are generally half price or less. Many of our used books are in fine condition , practically indistinguishable from the new, except for the label and the price. There are also books on the shelf that are now out of print, so for those of you who like to browse, you may find some treasures on the Odyssey’s shelves. Old and Rare Speaking of treasures, be sure to see our two cabinets holding old and rare books. They are on the second floor, near the top of the stairs. These are all old books, some real old, many between $5.00 and $10.00, with some priced higher. If you are hooked on old books, you will enjoy these book cases Remaindered Books Remaindered books are publishers’ overstock. Usually they are are unmarked and as good as new, but they are less than half price. Many remainders are included with the new and used books in their sections, but we have lots of remainders upstairs, on the square table in the middle of the room, and on the shelves next to the mystery section. Signed Books You will find books signed by the authors in several places throughout the store. On the large table near the store’s entrance on the right side (coming into the store), there are books signed by authors who have recently read at the store. These books are priced at normal retail – we don’t increase the prices of newly signed books. Also, be on the lookout for signed books throughout the store. Usually a book that has been signed will have a label saying ‘signed’ on the spine or cover.

Hunter.
