Who we are:
Hi, we’re Pat and Gerry, owners of a real life school supply and used bookstore in Dracut, Massachusetts. We’re creating this web site to give our current customers and hopefully new customers a convenient access to our products which include all the major school supply manufacturers' products as well as a large selection of quality children's, young adult and adult used books.

Our history:
We originally met at a failing bank and decided to rid ourselves of the corporate world and chance it on our own. After much agonizing and planning, including sitting in parking lots watching traffic flow, we settled on Dracut, MA. Originally, our store was totally used books. We had no idea there was even a school supply market out there. Soon, teachers who came to our store looking for reading material for their classrooms began to tell us to carry school supplies, so we said "you tell us what to buy" and they did. We started out by ordering one for the teacher and one for us. After about a year, we had to knock down a wall to hold everything. We’ve been off and running ever since.

Our philosophy:
We try to provide the best customer service possible. Since the "you tell us what to buy" philosophy worked so well, we’ve pretty much stuck with it. If you’re having curriculum problems, let us know and we’ll try to help you. We’ve had very good luck in Massachusetts finding materials to fit the curriculum of the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System.
