ABOUT KNIGHT EQUESTRIAN BOOKS
Knight Equestrian Books was born of a need for a good horse bookstore in the USA. We started out in 1987, in a farmhouse here on the coast
of Maine, opening a real bookstore just books, just for
horsepeople.
Over the years we expanded to mail order, with our comprehensive
Directory of Books, then to booths at various horse events
in the East. Finally, in 1996, we established our web site (several
incarnations ago, now). Simultaneously our inventory grew from
500 titles to almost 3000, with the addition of many video DVDs and
audio CDs.
No
matter which way you reach us in the store, at a horse event, or by phone,
email or Internet you will meet our staff of devoted horse
people. We won't total our years of experience it would sound
impressive but also gimmicky. But since we each know our books and
have often even applied their information to our own horses, we
take pride in helping customers find the information they need.
If
you have a chance to stop in (we're 45 minutes down the coast from
L L Bean and 10 minutes from Boothbay Harbor, and great lobster)
you can meet our personable staff and browse the books for an afternoon.
Perhaps even the horses will come up to check out the newcomers
(got any treats???). It's a lovely spot for horse people.
JOIN OUR BOOK CLUB!
It's
FREE! And we never share our customers' information! We don't
buy, sell or share the Book Club list. We believe that your private information
is just that private.
There
is no charge for Book Club membership. When we enter your name and
address at the time of a sale, the computer receipt will list the
number of books you have purchased to date. After purchasing 24
books, you are eligible for a discount on your next book, equal
to the average price of the books you've bought so far.
So,
whenever you make a purchase, especially in person, make sure you
identify yourself so we can tell the computer to give you credit.
If someone is buying you a gift, they can give us your name so that
you can get the credits. Finally, we sometimes overlook Book Club
status, so it's okay for you to remind us that you'd like your credit!
