Here We Grow Again!

Gently Used Books store owner Mona DeWalt recently announced that the store is expanding, for the 2nd time in a little more than two years! Gently Used Books will soon be adding 1,700 square feet of additional floor space, and that means greatly enlarged areas for all categories of books, especially non-fiction and children's books. More details will be in our monthly newsletters...if you're not already a subscriber, it's easy to do; just visit the Newsletter page of this website.

Gently Used Books Featured On WFMZ-TV Channel 69!

Gently Used Books store owner Mona DeWalt was recently featured in a news segment on WFMZ-TV Channel 69 - here's a link to the film clip:

Gently Used Books and Mona DeWalt on WFMZ-TV Channel 69

Once you get to the WFMZ site, if you click on the word "menu" in the lower right corner of the video screen, you'll be able to increase the size of the video to a full screen display. Sorry, but there is a 15 second commercial before the video starts playing - we don't have any control over that.

In the clip, Mona announces that Gently Used Books is preparing to expand; this will be the 2nd expansion in two years!

Gently Used Books Has Over 80,000 Books!!!

Gently Used Books is located in the Douglassville Shopping Center in Douglassville, PA. We're easy to find: our store is right next to Redner's Market, across the street from Ace Hardware and catty-corner from the Douglassville U.S. Post Office. We're just a few hundred yards north of Michael's Restaurant at the intersection of Routes 422 and 662 (Old Swede Road).

We now have well over 80,000 "gently used" books in stock, including over 20,000 books for children and teens - we've got hardcover and paperback books, fiction and non-fiction, reference and romance, adventure and suspense, science fiction and humor, advice and thrillers and just about everything in between - even some current best-sellers! If you're looking for a certain book, chances are we've got it - and if not, let us know and we'll add it to our "Books Wanted" list.

As you can see from the pictures here on our website, we're very different from what most people imagine when they think of a "used book store." You'll find that Gently Used Books is a colorful and neat and clean and brightly lit store, and our huge inventory of books is well-organized and neatly displayed - not at all the dusty and dingy and disorganized mess that you might have imagined.

We're very proud of being frequently complimented about our store's appearance and low prices, but we don't take our word for it: come in and see for yourself! If you like to read, and don't like paying high retail prices for new books, you'll love Gently Used Books - we think reading a good book is much more fun when you don't have to pay a lot for the book!

We also operate Gently Used Books Plus, an eBay store where we sell books of all kinds, plus collectables, electronics, toys and more. You'll find additional information and a link to our eBay store on the "Shop On-Line" page of this website.

Operation Paperback - Support Our Troops!

In September 2008, Gently Used Books started collecting cash donations for "Operation Paperback" - we wanted to help Operation Paperback send paperback books to our troops stationed around the world. Because of the generous support of our customers, we have been able to send money each month to Operation Paperback.

Customers of Gently Used Books generously donated another $110 to this wonderful cause in January, bringing the new total to $1,028 since we started collecting donations for Operation Paperback in September 2008.

In June 2009, Operation Paperback officially named Gently Used Books as a Partner! Our logo is now on the very first page of their website, right under Barnes & Noble!  That's quite an honor for us, and an awesome tribute to our wonderful customers!

Update: We were recently blessed to have a customer here in the store who was a recipient of books from Operation Paperback! He was VERY thankful for the service they provide. He told us that service personnel in Iraq "need a place to escape to when you can't escape" and the books he received from Operation Paperback provided just that. He encouraged us to "keep up the good work!"

Would You Like To Help? Helping Operation Paperback to support our troops is easy - just place your donation in any amount in the in the bowl at the register. Thanks in advance for joining with us to support this program, and for showing your appreciation for our troops!

We encourage you to visit the Operation Paperback website and learn more about this great program.
