Store Description

Black Sun Compass is a home based operation located in Wilson, NC. (The name holds sentimental value.) The sole proprietor "Max" is nostalgic for bodies in which Characters are enshrouded, thus his fascination with Stories in all shapes and forms. As books are an embodiment of Stories it would explain why his library is overflowing with volumes that need new homes. With a collection of 20+ years and growing, there are many things that will not even be listed so if there is something in particular you are looking for just "Ask The Seller". ("Max" also enjoys the hunt so if he does not have it in the collection he'll be happy to help you find it.)
