Brace yourselves: it's time once again for our annual clearance sale. In the tidy back room at the Monkey’s Paw, thousands of fascinating printed artifacts will be on offer, all priced $1-$4.

Delicate bibliophiles might be overwhelmed by the diversity and scope of this material. Every item has been hand-picked by Monkey’s Paw staff: from picturesque antiquarian tomes to sensational paperbacks; erudite scholarship to campy pop culture; enormous pictorial works to delicate ephemera; cheerful juvenalia to adult sleaze; established classics to long-forgotten oddities.

You’ll find treasures on every shelf, but the books aren't sorted -- so come prepared to browse... and browse... and browse. We’ll restock throughout the sale until our supplies are exhausted.
