Grand Island book store to close its doors

GRAND ISLAND - A Grand Island book store will close their doors this upcoming summer. A post on Facebook from the store made the announcement over the weekend. 

We are sad to say that after 20yrs in our current location and a quarter century in the book-mongering trade the Graves family is stepping away from the used book business.

The Tattered Book will be closing its doors July 1st, of 2026. Due to increasing expenses and shifting responsibilities we are no longer confident we can provide the same quality service we have in the past.  In an effort to liquidate our inventory we are only accepting books in trade on a limited basis (please call ahead). All store credit will be void as of June 1st, 2026. We will be happy to honor all existing credit until this date.

The Tattered Book has always been a passion project of our family to serve the community. We have been committed to staying open as long as it was not a burden. Time has tipped that balance. We look forward to continuing to serve our community over the next 6 months and hope to leave you with good memories.

If you are an entrepreneur, organization, or business and are interested in purchasing inventory; fixtures; or the business itself please feel free to contact Frederic Graves to discuss options.
