I fucking did this. There have been a lot of hurdles with this event. A lot of people who thought it was unrealistic to pull off an event like this. A lot of hot takes shared when people should've kept their mouths shut. But today....today I did this.

Let’s break this down: in summary- he’s shat his pants because US treasury bonds were being sold off like lemonade in a desert. He’s fucked up big time. And any other spin is bullshit.

We have some outside signage up finally! This is only temporary, but it helps people to find us from the road. Open again starting on Saturday from our renovations. Stop in and say hi, grab some new books, and marvel at the new space we've designed!

010

Blythe Books Pittsburgh @blythebookspgh.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

The calendar might say we're open today, but we're definitely not. Closed as we continue to renovate the space. Back open Saturday (pending any catastrophic events *knocks on wood*) and the shop is looking so good! Make plans to come visit this weekend, see the refresh, and grab some books!

After one day there's a lot of progress on the renovations. Also a lot going to the dump! But....I did my very best to salvage a few things from being trashed and had success. A few items we hauled out intact and have found a second life somewhere!

Blythe Books Pittsburgh @blythebookspgh.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

Thanks for a great weekend meeting so many of you and selling some awesome books! Reminder: We are closed this week (M-F) as demo/construction starts on the space. Should be done by next Saturday, I encourage you to make plans to visit us then to see the new space!

Love, love, LOVE our growing kids section. Zoom in for some amazing reads. Both classics (Phantom Tollbooth, anyone) and new gems (Catwad), there are some many gems stashed here. My suggestion: we have some Redwall books in and good lord do I need a new kiddo to discover that series!

So I took a chance that it'd be okay and went to @blythebookspgh.bsky.social to drop off some new (autographed!) books and say hi and see what all is there. Y'all are missing out if you haven't been there yet. #shoplocal #Pittsburgh #Pittsburghsmallbusiness #pittsburghlocalbusiness #bookstore

Dropping off books this Saturday? Here are a few guidelines to keep in mind. Doing these three things prior to dropping off really helps us to process your books quickly!

Text states: Dropping off books to sell? 1. Help us stay organized by dropping your books off in something you don't mind leaving with us (old box, bags, etc.) 2. Have a general idea of the # of books you're offering. 3. Mark any special editions with a sticky note. It helps us to catch those and offer you a better price.

Blythe Books Pittsburgh @blythebookspgh.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Our second Drop In event is this Saturday from 12-4pm. Bring us the books you no longer need and we'll make you a cash offer for anything we can accept. While you're here, be sure to browse our inventory and find a new read! We have hundreds of books in stock at a great used price

A happy little accident - we're always closed on Mondays (even when we're open FT), but i happened to be here today working on some stuff. A family showed up hoping to buy some books, so I invited them in and let them browse. They bought some great new reads, and I got to sell some books today.
