Thank YOU Readers!

Because of your support and response to our 50% off sale, sales are up enough to stay open for the immediate future. Instead of the "Store Closing" sign in the window, there is now a "Help Keep Berkman Books" sign.

New Hours
Monday through Wednesday we will close at 6:00. Thursday through Saturday we will still be open until 9:00. Sunday is still somewhere around 10:00 - 6:00.

New Arrivals
You will notice that the store has fewer books now, but we are receiving some beautiful and very interesting used and rare books. There are too many to list, so I am continuing to post "Shelf Shots", or pictures of groups of books. Click on the picture to enlarge it enough to read the spine. Come in and take a closer look or let me know if you want more information and I'll email you a picture and details.  info@berkmanbooks.com or 830-997-1535.

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.
