Back to the End

Summer did not get us out of the hole as we had hoped. We are back where we were in April and will close the store on Sept. 12. We will still be a business selling our remarkable books on-line. There will be no drastic clearance on rare and collectible books, as these will go on-line.

There is still a window of opportunity to remain open with relatively little funding, as a downsized shop specializing in the rare and collectibles. Stop in or call if you are interested in helping us raise the funds. (830) 997-1535.

Watch for clearance of the contemporary inventory. Not all the fixtures and furniture will be sold. We will let you know when the remainders will become available.

The 50% off sale with a minimum $50 worth of book is still in effect. Considering time is limited, come in NOW and pick up fabulous books for incredibly low prices while they last.

In the mean time, we have a few notable...

Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein, 1961, $450

Email Newsletter

This month's Literary Birthday is Howard Hawks

“I'm a storyteller - that's the chief function of a director. And they're moving pictures, let's make 'em move!”


Our email newsletter has over 900 recipients. We send it in plain text format with no graphics and has the same information as the blog. What the newsletter has that the blog does not is a monthly biography of a literary figure. It is also a good reminder to keep in touch with the store, events and New Arrivals. If you would like to receive the newsletter, let us know. info@berkmanbooks.com or call 830-997-1535.

All we need is your first and last name and email address. This information is not shared.
