From Book Runner, the movie:

Batty: I've ordered sci-fi for a dollar you people wouldn't believe. I've seen fantasy and horror titles, too. All these books once lost and out of print, like tears in rain. Time to checkout.

Deckard: [voice-over] I don't know why he told me about Sci-Fi Dollar Books. Maybe in those last moments he loved reading more than he ever had before. Not just his books, anybody's books, my books. All he'd wanted were the same titles the rest of us want. Where did these books come from? How many should I order? What titles will I get? Heck, it was only a dollar a book. I could order one and find out when it came...

You love science fiction. Not just the newest, sleekest models to come out this year, but ANY science fiction! The entire pantheon of decades of science fiction! The foundational stones upon which the entire oeuvre has been built! The lost and forgotten gems that have paved the way!

Yes — the really, really cheap stuff!

The science fiction team at our Hawthorne store thinks like you. They've got a fantastical collection of these very beauties, all lined up on a shelf and each of them only one dollar!

But wait! What exactly are these books? Who wrote them? What do the covers look like? Well, see, that's the mystery part. A "grab bag surprise" kind of thing. But trust us! They're only a buck each. Put one (or...ten?) in your shopping cart and place your order, and the mind-reading staff of oracles at our Hawthorne store will pick out exactly the right book for you. It might show signs of having been well loved (and read) through the years, and you may have never ever heard of the author, but trust us — it will be well worth a dollar!
