Unusual Gifts for Everyone

The Bookworm's gift room was added in 2005. We ran out of room to house our gifts in with the books so we remodeled our back warehouse which is today's gift room, complete with comfy wingback chairs and free coffee and tea. Feel free to sit and relax and peruse your potential purchases. Our gift room offers many kinds of gifts and home decor including:

Himalayan Salt Lamps
75¢ cards everyday
Home decor
Jigsaw puzzles
Scarves, pins, jewelry
Natural soaps
Candles and accessories
Seasonal decorations and gifts
Windchimes and garden items

New and Used Books

The Bookworm originally started out as a discount bookstore and paperback exchange. We have carried through on that theme through the years and expanded on the exchange. See our Book Trade Policy page. We carry bestsellers discounted 15% everyday, remaindered books which are at least 1/2 off the cover price and pre-read books. We have author events from time-to-time.
