Imagine you've walked into the Long Overdue bookstore, hot chocolate in hand. Heavy on the marshmallows. You made a list, checked it twice. Family members. Friends. A couple of co-workers. You're wandering the aisles with one mission in mind: Gift some great books. And not just any books. Not the "New York Times Best Books of 2025." Oh no. Anyone could do that. You're the discoverer. The taste setter. You find authors before they're household names. When it's your turn at boo

Speaking of stepping on the scale, three weeks ago, I packed two suitcases full of books for the Texas Book Festival in Austin, Texas. Brought down over 100 lbs of Long Overdue books, representing 24 of our 25 titles (we're currently sold out of Oh Mother How Funny).
