About Turtleman Used Books Washington, United States

Biblio member since 2018

Thanks for visiting Turtleman Books.

Turtleman Used Books in Olympia, WA opened on August 1st of 2022. Address is 108 22nd Ave SW, Olympia, WA 98501. Suite #4. This is a small shop, so some books may only be displayed online, others only displayed in the store. Come on by if you are in town. Closed Monday and Tuesday.

About shipping: For domestic shipping, I have included the cost of shipping oversized books into the list price. In the case of expedited shipping, the scheduled prices are an estimate and may need to be higher for oversized books and multibook sets. If the cost of expedited shipping is substantially less than the charged price, I will issue a reduction. For international shipping, the best bet is using Biblio's export consolidation center. This however only works for books that will ship at less than four pounds (1.81 kg). I have marked most of my heavier books as "not available for international shipping", but this is not exactly true. International shipping is incredibly expensive but is available. My shipping fee schedule for international orders outside of the export center is nothing more than a guess and will be adjusted up or down upon ordering depending on the actual costs. Contact me at turtlemanbooks@gmail.com if you have questions.

All my photographs are of the actual product, taken by my trusty little Kindle Fire. Currently we have over 3100 books offered for sale online, with more being added daily. Check back frequently to see what's new. -----

Terms of Sale:

30 day return guarantee, with full refund including original shipping costs for up to 30 days after delivery if an item arrives misdescribed or damaged. Buyer responsible for return postage. Due to recently enacted packaging rules, I cannot ship to Germany. (Too expensive.)

Reader reviews for Memory Wall

From the publisher

From an award-winning and extraordinarily eloquent author whose "prose dazzles" (The New York Times Book Review) comes a second stunning collection.

Set on four continents, Anthony Doerr's new stories are about memory, the source of meaning and coherence in our lives, the fragile thread that connects us to ourselves and to others. Every hour, says Doerr, all over the globe, an infinite number of memories disappear. Yet at the same time children, surveying territory that is entirely new to them, push back the darkness, form fresh memories, and remake the world.

In the luminous and beautiful title story, a young boy in South Africa comes to possess an old woman's secret, a piece of the past with the power to redeem a life. In "The River Nemunas," a teenage orphan moves from Kansas to Lithuania to live with her grandfather, and discovers a world in which myth becomes real. "Village 113," winner of an O'Henry Prize, is about the building of the Three Gorges Dam and the seed keeper who guards the history of a village soon to be submerged. And in "Afterworld," the radiant, cathartic final story, a woman who escaped the Holocaust is haunted by visions of her childhood friends in Germany, yet finds solace in the tender ministrations of her grandson.

Every story in Memory Wall is a reminder of the grandeur of life--of the mysterious beauty of seeds, of fossils, of sturgeon, of clouds, of radios, of leaves, of the breathtaking fortune of living in this universe. Doerr's language, his witness, his imagination, and his humanity are unparalleled in fiction today.
