Membership Benefits

When I was growing up in Wellsboro, there wasn't a bookstore. You could get Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew at the Paxon's 5 & 10. The Acme had a shelf with a few mass market paperbacks, there was a used bookstore for a short time, but that was is. The nearest bookstore was at the Arnot Mall, and it was always the first store I went to and sometimes the only one. I remember I had a membership, and it gave me 10% off. It was a lot in those days before the internet where everyone strives to undercut everyone else.

When my wife and I started From My Shelf Books,l we wanted to build the type of store we wished were here when growing up. We wouldn't just have new books, or used books, or books, but games, gifts, and an awesome membership. The membership program we developed wouldn't just give a 20% discount on new paperback, but 25% on new hardcovers, 20% off games, and allow members to trade in their books for store credit.

There's some books I just won't give up, but some books I only am going to read once. For example, once you read it, a mystery just isn't a mystery anymore, but you might want to keep that history book for your collection, and there are some books I read every few years. The Forever War by Joe Haldeman, I get something new every time I read it.

So, for those people who like to hold on to their books, we developed the punch card. For every ten dollars a member purchases, they get a punch. When the card is filled (ten punches), the card is worth $10 credit on their nexr in-store purchase that can be used on books, games, or custom orders.

Once a year, we hold our DOUBLE-PUNCH SALE! If you’re a member, you normally get a punch on your card for every $10 you spend. A full punch becomes a $10 gift certificate! The last weekend of January, for every $10 you spend, you get TWO punches!

Bring the family—it’s a family membership—and rack up the full punch cards!

Plus, this sale gives EVERYONE 25% off all merchandise in the bookstore. Not a member? You can still save, but this last weekend in January, members get 30% off, plus DOUBLE PUNCHES!

Get new books or used, gift or craft items, games, plush, and more for 25 to 30% off! From My Shelf Books & Gifts, Main St. Wellsboro.
