Want to find something great to read?
We're a real-world bookstore where browsing and serendipitous literary encounters happen all of the time, our staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and we have that classic bookstore smell which can't be replicated, and yet for those of you who can't make it to us in person, we also have an on-line inventory which we keep separate from our on-the-floor inventory.
We sell on many different book-selling sites, and we like and value them all, but we've found that Abebooks makes it easiest to search our inventory directly. You can search by keyword, title, author, or ISBN. Abebooks does have what they call "curated collections" which provide a nice snapshot of books by subject, but these collections exclude many of our titles within the subject. Searching for keywords is usually most effective to find books that didn't get "curated".
Please note that like many booksellers online, we initially price our books competitively with other online prices. We also use a repricing algorithm designed to keep our prices competitive with other online offers, but our algorithm is deeply imperfect, and some books end up priced ridiculously high, well higher than anything else out there, and sometimes they end up priced ridiculously low (either compared to other on-line prices, or compared to what we could sell it for in-store). You can write info@amazingbookspgh.com to question an unusally high price, and we'll see if we can adjust it downward (and we'll often be glad to do that), and sometimes, if you were to come in and ask for a book you saw in our on-line for an unusually low price (again either compared to other online prices, or compared to what we could sell it for in-store), we'll usually charge you our normal in-store price, which on average, would be around $9.99-12.99. There's just often a real discrepancy between on-line and real-world pricing, and where we can, we want to be generous to you, and we mean no offense, when we need to charge more than the price you found online.
