Support Archives Book Shop - We're Closing
Donation protected
With great sadness, we have to announce the closing of The Archives
Book Shop, sister store to Curious Books since 1987. Archives is currently running a clearance sale to try to cut down on the transition costs of getting through this, but with something like a hundred thousand items on the shelves and in the basement, moving out will be a herculean task.
Therefore, we're running a fundraiser to cover the very substantial extra costs involved, and to celebrate more than 35 years of the Archives Book Shop. At this point, we are planning on keeping Curious Book Shop open.
We have different rewards as our thanks for different kinds of donations, so please have a look!

* Discount cards are not stackable with other sales. After February 28, discount cards will only be usable at Curious Book Shop.
All of these items can be shipped directly to you or picked up in store, just send us an email with your donation receipt and let us know which you prefer. Please allow a few weeks turnaround for us to get T-shirt orders in.
Thirty-seven years is no small feat--we're so grateful for the time that Archives has been able to be a part of the Lansing community. These thirty-seven years would not have been possible without the support of all of you, near and far.
So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Archives will be open until the end of February so, if you're around, come pay us a visit. There will be discounts all month as we try to clear the shelves.
And thank you for any contribution you're able to make to help make this transition as smooth as possible for our staff, even if that contribution is just sharing the fundraiser so more people see it. Everything helps, and we're grateful to you all.
We really appreciate your support! If you have any questions about the different donation tiers or about Archives, please feel free to email us.
