East Cobb is losing another locally owned, independent bookstore. Earlier this week, Casey Herron, owner of Once and Again Books on Shallowford Road, said the shop will be closing by the end of March, and possibly sooner.
The store is selling all books, except for special orders, at 15 percent off, and store credits can be used for half of a purchase. They’re also selling bookcases, bookstands and other items in the store.
Last fall, the Bookmiser store on Sandy Plains Road closed, and the Bookmiser store on Roswell Road remains open.
Here’s part of the message Dillon shared with customers announcing the news of the Once and Again closing:
We will be making one last new book order on Feb. 3rd. We will special order books for purchase at list price (no discount) and you can apply store credit towards ONLY 25% of that price. We’re only offering this to help our loyal customers use some of the credit they have built up.
We are no longer buying books. You’re still welcome to donate good condition books. We’ll sell what we can and donate the rest.
No other discounts apply. All sales are final. It’s first come, first serve at this point. Other than special orders, we are not holding books.
We’re so thankful for the support through the years and will miss our wonderful customers.
Once and Again Books is located at 2421 Shallowford Road, Suite 116, at the intersection of Trickum Road. It’s in the Shallowford Crossing Shopping Center, where there’s a Mellow Mushroom and Moxie Burger.
The bookstore hours are 10-7 Monday-Friday, 10-6 Saturday and 12-6 Sunday.
