Al’s Old and New
Book Store has been in its present location for the
last 30 years serving Wichita’s needs for used, rare,
and out of print books. It has been in the same general
area for 50 years. The store has now been under new
management for two and one-half years and is open
Tuesday through Saturday 10 am to 5 pm. 
What We Do
Come in and see us! If we don’t have it, its
likely that we can get it for you. Check out our news
section for recent and upcoming events at our store
and in the Delano area. Our policies page has information
on how we handle things like trade and ordering books.
What's New?
Our latest additions to the store have been Large
Print hard cover books. These are mainly Mysteries
and Romances. Also, many more hard cover mystery/adventure/thrillers.
The Indian section has been moved to lower shelves
within reach at last!
