If you're looking for books to read while camping this Summer, we've got you covered like a premium tent! But, maybe you should pick something other than James Dickey's "Deliverance."

By request, a little flashback to a 1966 newspaper article about the shop. This story mentions Dad (Walter Bonnett) too, so – early Happy Father's Day!
We've got great Father's Day Gift ideas on hand for all types of Dads!

Hey! It's been a minute. Lots of memorializing this weekend. Around here, the memories never seem to cease... here's a bit of our Hall of Fame, a couple of vintage Jet magazines, new stories about Lovecraft's old ones, a bestseller, an old parish cookbook, and an '80s TV tie-in! Don't forget, we've got vintage comics, movies, and a whole lot more!

A couple of recent arrivals. I'm a bit distracted so, I haven't any commentary at the moment – these vintage covers simply caught my eye. We have books of all types; something for nearly everyone. If you find yourself on our street, stop in for a look around!

Sex & relationship advice in the 1970s was vastly superior to that of the '50s, which were better than the '30s... We should know. We've been here the whole time!
These seem a little mansplain-ish by today's standards, & probably so. Still useful, though. Maybe good for laughs!

There's a pleasure in reading a rough old pulp paperback. Will new books, with generic graphics on "immortal" acid-free paper catch the interest of a reader 3 or 4 generations hence?
Older books instantly transport a reader into their stories. Texture makes the world feel real, organic, and lived-in, the art gives you a clue what's in store, & they absolutely grab your attention!

Our shop has a large toy collection–Not for sale. The collection is great for 3D photos!
Open this image full screen. Cross your eyes until the left and right Pinocchio merge in the middle. It will seem like there are 3 pictures instead of two. The middle will be 3D!
Enjoy!

I have a soft spot for books in matched sets. It's said these riffed on James Bond–An
American art historian/collector uses his job as cover, & pays for his hobby performing hits for a secret gov't org.
The Eiger Sanction was also a 1975 mountain-climbing action film produced, starring, & dir. by Clint Eastwood, who did most of his own stunts.
