You become an official supporter of All She Wrote Books! The Friends of Ruby Membership program allows us to connect with fellow book lovers in a new, innovative way. You not only help the store, but we're able to offer you even more perks for being an awesome, loyal customer! Why is it called the Friends of Ruby? Back in the day, many LGBTQIA+ folks referred to one another as “friends of Dorothy,” coded language that only other community members could understand. Although its origins are contentious, the phrase is believed to come from The Wizard of Oz series. There are a lot of references to queerness in the books. In fact, in 1906’s Road to Oz, Polychrome, the rainbow’s daughter, responds to a critique about the friend group with “The queerness doesn’t matter, so long as they’re friends!” Friends of Ruby is All She Wrote Books’ version of this idea. No matter who you are or how you identify, you’re welcome to become a member. Why does All She Wrote Books have a membership program? Queer/feminist bookstores are a special kind of business. The experience you get at All She Wrote is not the same as what you’ll get at other indies in the area or a big box store. We sell books, of course, but we also serve as a neighborhood resource, public gathering space, and connect diverse communities with one another. Your membership purchase helps keep this queer/feminist bookstore in your neighborhood and gives our booksellers resources to do even more. Member Perks The Friends of Ruby Membership includes: 10% off all purchases for one year* 10% off tickets to our bookstore events for one year Discounts on space rentals of the store A "Friends of Ruby" pin designed and produced by our friends at Crafty Queer Studio Your Own Staff Pick Featured During Your Birthday Month 1:1 Personal Shopping Time w/our owner Christina (in-person or online) Early access to ticketed events 20% off during our Annual Member Sales A quick note about shopping our online store or registering for an event: In order to get your member discount, you will be sent a code via email and by mail that you will enter in the Discounts box at checkout when placing an online order, or registering for an event (the discount will appear immediately). Our mission statement challenges us to continuously build toward an inclusive queer/feminist future. But we know that we are not building this future alone; our community is here to help us meet the challenge. *Excludes gift cards and certain academic/short-discounted titles.

All She Wrote Books How Curbside Pickup Works How to Place an Order When placing an order for curbside pickup, please select “Curbside Pickup at Store ” in the drop-down menu for "Shipping Options ". Please note: We will try to accommodate all requests for curbside pickup, but depending on a books’ availability, some orders must ship directly from our warehouse. If your order is one of them, we will let you know right away! How to Pickup an Order WHEN: Beginning Thursday, June 25th, our Curbside Pickup hours are: Tuesdays: 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm Wednesdays: 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm Thursdays: 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm Fridays: 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm Saturdays:1 :00 pm to 7:00 pm We will notify you by text or email when your order is ready. Unfortunately, you cannot pick up your order until then, because it won’t be ready :) We ask that you let us know when you are 10 minutes away by texting (617)-440-4623 with your name and order number. We will place the order in a bag labeled with your last name and order number on the table located at our front entrance. You must wear a mask while picking up their order! For the safety of our staff and community, this is a contactless pickup. Please keep your distance--customers should wait in their car or stand on one of the stickers that say stay six feet apart on the ground. You must confirm you have the correct order before you leave. Please note: Although there will be staff in the store at other days and times, we will not look to do curbside pickup at other times. We are asking for you not to ask us.
