What is a BARGAIN Item?

Bargain items can be brand-new products that our buyers have purchased from publishers at incredibly low prices. We pass these savings - sometimes as much as 80% off an item's list price - along to you.

Bargain items can also be publisher overstocks or other special purchases, so there might be a few scratches, marks or dented corners. There might also be a sticker on the item from the publisher. Regardless, Books-A-Million does not ship defective items.

Our selection of bargain books changes hourly, and quantities are limited, so shop now and shop often. Due to unpredictable demand, it is possible for us to oversell the available quantity of a bargain item. In such cases, we will promptly cancel your order and your credit card will not be charged.

Baseball stadiums have an innate magic, never more so than in the hands of Lies, whose latest has the winged creatures gathering for an epic game, complete with "beenuts and Cricket Jack," and an upside down audience. Smooth, unhurried rhymes illuminate a hidden world where bats, like humans, "feel a magic shift,/ and ride the currents of the game/ as time is set adrift." Each gleaming page is thick with detail, from the bats' first arrival ("We wing from dark to dazzling bright,/ startled by the stunning sight") to the final play. Fans of the other baseball bats will certainly enjoy these ones. Ages 3–7. (Sept.)
