Consignment Policies

Most local and indie books will be sold on consignment.

Our current consignment period is 90 days.

We offer a 65/35 split with you, the author receiving 65% of the retail price.

Consignment is labor-intensive — creating accounts, tracking sales, managing stock and issuing payment must be done for each consigned author. Recognizing this, Once Upon A Bookstore LLC collects a non-refundable, one time service fee of $25.
