Good Morning one and all. I have opened early and have noticed that I am low on Sci-fi and fantasy books. If anyone has some of these genres and they are wondering where to move them onto…bring them into Cooks Hill Books. I can’t buy all books offered but will happily pay cash/ cheque or offer store credit for the ones I would be interested in.
