Dark Star Books

All month long Dark Star Books will be offering two special deals: a Happy Hour Sale, whereby, from the hours of 5pm-7pm on weekdays, you can enjoy a 30% discount off any used books you purchase here; and, for comics fans, 50% off back issues featuring a certain comic character each weekend. The weekend of Feb. 12-13 it will be Superman; February 19 and 20 enjoy a discount off Hulk comics, and Spider-Man rounds out the sale Feb. 26 and 27!

The holidays have ended. Mr. Eko has taken off his flashing Christmas-light necklace and returned to his usual look au naturel, the yuletide bling having been an exception to his usual strict fashion minimalism. As arctic winds blow snow, sleet, and other forms of precipitation through Yellow Springs, Dark Star invites its customers to retreat indoors and read. They might want to consider some nice used hardcovers from the store, since these are all 30% OFF this month! That’s in addition to the usual 20% off sale on Wednesdays, which applies to all the used books.

Enjoy 30% off all used books on religion* and all used media — including DVDs, CDs and audio books — through the end of the month!
That’s in addition to our usual Wednesday discount of 20% off all used books, and our special holiday promotion (spend $25, get a $5 gift certificate every time, through Dec. 31.)

All and all, it’s a deal-icious time to shop at Dark Star. See you at the store soon!

(*Books on metaphysics and on eastern religions aren’t part of this sale, sorry.)

Dark Star is pleased to announce two upcoming promotions, one of which lasts for the whole holiday season.

1. Thanksgiving holiday weekend: Friday Nov. 26 through Sun. Nov. 28, enjoy a 15% discount off new books and a 30% discount off used books!

2. Friday Nov. 26 through Dec. 31st: for every $25 you spend at Dark Star, you’ll receive a $5 gift certificate.

See you soon at Dark Star!

The other day Mr.  Eko and I were discussing the perils of book shopping and shopping in general.  He never has enough paw space to carry around all of his favorite books and cheezburgers.  He demanded I fix the problem immediately or he would find somewhere else to fling his litter.

Introducing the Dark Star tote bag! Mr. Eko says they’re perfect for hauling books around.   I think he prefers to take naps on it.    This bag has many more useful features for humans.   Once you purchase a bag then you’re enrolled in our new customer give back program.   The immediate rewards for joining are:

• 15% off all purchases in our store front.

• One free used book, priced 6.00 or less, per month.

• A free 10.00 gift card (good for anything) for the first 50.00 that you spend in store.

We also plan to have special prizes and rewards for members in the months to come.  Our new bags cost 6.00 or you can get one for free if you spend 40.00.   Stop by and check them out!

YELLOW SPRINGS BOOKFAIR OFFERS BARGAINS, COLLECTIBLES

Great bargains as well as rare antiquarian books await shoppers at the 30^th annual Yellow Springs Bookfair. Hours are 9am to 5pm, Saturday, August 21, on the grounds of Mills Lawn School, 200 S. Walnut St., in downtown Yellow Springs.

Admission is free, and there is no charge to sell books. No registration is necessary.

More than 30 sellers, from six states as well as locally, will offer everything from comics, history and novels to fine collector’s volumes, according to long-time organizer Mary Alice Wilson, owner of Dark Star Books. Prices run from 25 cents to hundreds of dollars.

“Because of our continuing growth and reputation, we attract quite a range – from rare book dealers to kids on blankets selling their outgrown Nancy Drews or Twilight books,” says Wilson. People like the shady location, too. It allows for comfortable browsing and gives kids a place to play while grown-ups shop.

Early shoppers find incredible bargains, Wilson advises, but the number of books and comics guarantees good shopping all day.

Seller setup for the bookfair begins at 7 a.m. No one is allowed on the school grounds before that time. For more information, call Dark Star Books at (937) 767-9400 or Super-Fly Comics and Games at (937) 767-1445.
