We are adding lots of new bargain books. What is a bargain book? Whenever a publisher changes or discontinues a specific edition of a book they may sell off the remaining inventory at a discount. We are able to pass this discount to you. Our specialty, of course, is African American literature, so we are on the lookout for those titles. However, we are bringing in titles that cover a wide spectrum of topics. Expect to find discounts of 40 - 80% off of the publishers' list price. The books are usually in new or like new condition. You may find a remainder mark (a line or dot on the page ends) to prevent the books from being returned as full-price books.

Midnight
by Sister Souljah

Now Available

Save 25% on Sister Souljah's long awaited prequel to The Coldest Winter Ever

midnight by sister souljah

Midnight is a hustler-but one with a mindset and a mission. A tall, dark, and handsome hero in his own way, Midnight would, in mainstream American society, be characterized as a threat and dismissed as a criminal. But in her beautiful, captivating style, Sister Souljah reveals the heart of a man that readers will love and cheer for until the very end. When Midnight came to America from the Sudan, he was just seven years old with a mother who spoke no English and a baby sister on the way. Midnight has to grow up fast on the violent and dangerous streets of Brooklyn. Amidst the poverty and lawlessness, Midnight must find some way to survive, thrive, and defend his family and way of life-no matter what it takes.
