| Used Book Superstore Opens in Danvers |
| |
DANVERS, MA - Danvers area residents will soon have a new spot to call their own. A new community bookstore, the Used Book Superstore will be opening in Endicott Plaza at 139 Endicott Street on Friday, November 14th. The store will offer residents a new alterative in the purchase of books and more, as well as a section for children’s and teen books. The Superstore will also offer locals something unique: weekly discounts for all current and former military members and local educators. Teachers will receive 20 percent off their entire purchase every Wednesday after showing any form of proof that identifies them as a currently employed paid teacher or certified home school instructor. This program was developed in an attempt to lessen the burden of financing books for classrooms that many teachers currently deal with. Veterans will receive their 20 percent discount every Thursday after showing any form of military identification. All other patrons need not worry; every book will be discounted to a simple pricing system, which states that paperbacks sell for $1.99, hard covers for $2.99, and kids books for $1.29, among others. The Superstore offers more than 100,000 new and gently used books sorted into more than 100 categories with inventory added daily, as well as a selection of videos, audio books, and text books. Books for kids are in abundance, with picture books to young adult and everything in between. The Used Book Superstore is located in Endicott Plaza between Savers and Ocean State Job Lot. Store hours will be Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.Read More...

DANVERS, MA - Lawrence and Burlington have Got Books and come Friday, Danvers, will too. That's when the hybrid used book seller and professional fundraiser opens its second Used Book Superstore — in a 13,000-square-foot-space in Endicott Plaza, 139 Endicott St. The store will be adjacent to an Ocean State Job Lot and a Savers thrift store. The 70-employee, rapidly expanding Got Books is not your run of the mill used-book seller. While it takes in donated books, CDs and DVDs, it is a for-profit company with a mission of finding new homes for used books. It uses some of its proceeds to support a variety of nonprofits. It also has a mission of keeping tons of books out of the waste stream, saving municipalities money on trash tipping fees. Got Books gets books from nearly 300 collection boxes at area churches and schools, or it picks them up for free. From its collection boxes, it pays charities, schools and organizations by the pound. At the Danvers store, books will be a bargain, selling for $1.99 for paperbacks, $2.99 for hardcovers and $3.99 for coffee table books. The store will have bright, wide aisles, plush chairs, coffee tables (no coffee) and a selection broken down into 100 categories, Ticehurst said. Books will be rotated constantly. Its shelves will be packed with 102,000 books for adults and 30,000 for kids, and it will employ 13 people.Read More...
