Dear Customers,
When ordering online, if it says "Backordered or Special Order", please check with us before placing your order. Due to COVID shutting down several large printers as well as books being in higher demand, many books are out of stock. When ordering from us online, please note if it says "USUALLY SHIPS IN 1-5 DAYS", that means our warehouse has stock and we CAN get it in 4-5 business days. If it says "Backordered" please call or email us for an estimated date of restock hitting the warehouse, or it is possible we have it IN STOCK here at Townie Books. If it says "Special Order" that means our warehouse doesn't have any in stock OR any on order so we would have to seek other sources that are slower. Thanks for shopping virtually at Townie Books!
“Metropolis is a riveting read by a remarkable storyteller. Shapiro’s cast of characters will keep you guessing. A tribute to old Boston and how people live — in wealth or poverty — and remain human and connected to one another. Well done!”
— Annie Philbrick, Bank Square Books, Mystic, CT
