Queen Anne Books

Though we have 14,000 titles in the store, we sometimes don't have what you need right on the shelf (coming in the New Year, the website will be able to show you the in-store stock!), but special ordering a book with us is very simple.

Here are some things to know about special orders:

• We order from two different national distributors, so if it's in print it's very likely we can get it for you.
• Your order will almost always come with our normal store order, so there are no shipping charges.
• Most books will arrive in the store in just 3 or 4 days (some have to come from a further away warehouse, but that only takes 7 to 10 days).
• If you place an order online and choose the "In-Store Pick-Up" option, there's no need to pre-pay and no shipping charges.
• Most books are returnable. If the book arrives and it's not what you want, you don't have to buy it.
• We hold your special order for two weeks and then we give you a call to remind you it's here. We can always hold books longer, just let us know what you need.
• We're happy to place pre-orders for books that aren't out yet. Then we'll call you when the book is released.
• If a title is out of stock with our distributor (maybe it's a small press, or maybe Oprah or the New York Times mentioned it), we can place a Backorder for you. When the book is back in stock, we'll get one in right away and call you.
