Do you sell used books?
Yes. Used books are available in-store. We will also have limited selections available at our community and special events.
Do you sell audiobooks?
Yes, through our partnership with Libro.fm. Libro.fm lets you buy audiobooks directly while supporting our store. You can browse a catalog of over 600,000 titles, including New York Times best sellers and bookseller-curated picks, at libro.fm/darklyrootedbooks.
Do you sell through Bookshop.org?
Yes. Darkly Rooted Books has a storefront at bookshop.org/shop/darklyrootedbooks, featuring new books, ebooks, gift cards, and more across genres such as fantasy, horror, sci-fi, and YA. Bookshop.org is an online marketplace built to support independent bookstores: when you shop through our storefront (or a link we share), a cookie identifies you as our customer, and we receive a 30% profit from your purchase. If you shop on Bookshop.org without going through our page, your purchase instead contributes to a profit pool split among all participating stores. It's a great option if you want to buy from us but prefer ebooks, gift cards, or Bookshop.org's broader catalog.
