The Paradox Book Store

For almost 50 years, the porch of The Paradox has tried to make sure that anyone who wants to read has the option to do so -- even if they have no money (at least in our little section of the world). Today, we find it necessary to expand that mission to include doing what we can to make sure everyone in our community who needs to eat, has access to food.

As part of this effort, any customer who brings in a canned food item can choose a free hardback book from our Dollar Specials. Food donations do need to be canned, as they will be outside and we don't want to attract critters.

“Where there is hunger there is no hope. There is only desolation and pain. Hunger nurtures violence and fanaticism. A world where people starve will never be safe.”

— Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva
