State of the Bookstore

Like many other NH retailers, we are closed to the public until May 4, at least.  We've been blessed to have support from the SBA, from our vendors, and from our landlord, and we've been doing good and anxiety-reducing business in online and phone orders. Please keep sending orders our way.  They are our bridge to a post-COVID19 future. And do call or email if you need recommendations. Our booksellers are getting very efficient at picking and shipping, but this can get one-dimensional.  We're here to help with all your book, toy, and game-related needs. Consult with us one on one.
Here's our website: www.gibsonsbookstore.com. Our email is gibsons@gibsonsbookstore.com. And our phone number is 603-224-0562. We are in the store from 10-4 each day, Monday through Saturday.
We're encouraging people to ship all new orders. If it's a time-sensitive request, we're allowing some curbside pickup, but in general, people should stay home and let us ship to them.  ...Please note, though we are happy to offer 99-cent shipping through this crisis, that's us subsidizing the shipping, at a loss. If you can afford it, we encourage you to choose "media mail" ($3.50 for the first book, 50 cents for each additional book) when you check out.
We will resume regular curbside service as an intermediate phase when the crisis seems to be abating. Stay tuned.
Around the country, publisher and distributor warehouses have instituted new procedures to keep their workers safe. This necessarily means that deliveries are slower than we are used to. We urge everyone to put aside all notions of immediate gratification and accept the idea that good things are worth waiting for.  We're working to get your books to you ASAP.
If you can't think of a book to buy, try our gift cards, also available as online only gift codes. They'll still be good when this crisis is over. We need your continuing support.

Events are Going Virtual

We're closed to the public, so we can't do in-person author events. But it's still our mission to connect readers with writers, and the way we're doing that now is through virtual, online events. You can ask questions and otherwise interact with the authors during some online events, and you can buy signed books through our website. Click the images below for more info and for ways to join the events online!  Check our events schedule often to learn about new virtual events coming up.

Thanks for reading this far!

Everyone stay safe! We'll get through this.
