On Love and war
Fiction
101 sells "gently used" books, and we are perhaps best
known for our policy of offering all mass market
fiction paperbacks at $2 per book. But we sell much more than fiction; the store houses as many as 75,000 books at any given time, including large selections of used cookbooks, nonfiction and books for
children.
Fiction 101 moved to Coos Bay in late 2007 after 18 months in neighboring North Bend. As the move was completed, co-owner Kate Fox explained: "We listened to our customers,"
she said. "They asked for more books and easy parking,
and the move to Coos Bay lets us offer both."
This summer, Fiction 101 has added two big collections at its expanded location in downtown Coos Bay:
The Love Letters romantic fiction collection includes 15,000 paperback and hardcover romance novels at $2 each. This summer we're adding another whole room to house our collection of 10,000 category romances featuring Silhouette, Harlequin and even vintage and specialty publishers. The category romances will be an even better bargain: $1 each! |
The Soldier & Spy collection of military
history and politics offers vintage atlases, biographies and period accounts of military battles. We have thousands of paperback thrillers at $2, and an extensive collection of collectable, vintage or rare military volumes at reasonable prices. Come browse through thousands of travel, National Geographic and military maps. |
The coffee's on
We now have self-serve coffee and cappuccino in our nonfiction room - just put a dollar in the jar and help yourself. The huge bar that now holds our cookbooks dates back to the days when our space was the old Nugget Bar, a longtime Coos Bay workingman's hangout. |
