Oakley’s Gently Used Books retail store closed on September 18, 2016 after almost 21 years in the same location in downtown Charlottesville, VA. We brought more than 5,000 sci fi/ fantasy books home and continue to add to our carefully curated collection.

Chris still loves the bookselling but not the hours (and the ever increasing burden of bookkeeping/tax forms) so Oakley’s will continue to sell books at conventions and through Facebook messaging.

Over 6,000 carefully-selected used books
