We don't handle sports cards; but, we do handle books produced with sports cards inside!
These, from '90/'91 contain mini-bios of pro athletes' chilhoods. The last 5 pages of each are printed on perforated card-stock, 9 cards/page, with youth photos on front and stats on back. Collect the complete set!
6/22/24 — Open 6:30-9p... maybe later! Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.
It's Dayton Airshow weekend!
I shot this photo during Friday practice. I'm zoomed in all the way, the planes are fast, the air is hazy, the heat distorts the light... A rather challenging photo session.
We've got a lot of aviation and other books in here. If you're in town, stop and check them out!

This old bookrack – frail, but still in use – is in the earliest photos from the shop. 80+ year old retailer bookshelves. I've never really stopped to appreciate them in this aspect. Through the years, we've lost a few to wear and this one's fading. There are 5 more still in use, thankfully in better condition.

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."

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!

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.

Even Nostradamus didn't predict I'd spend so much time 2024 with Westerns, Horseback Riding, Harness Racing, & Horse Care. I rode a horse once–part of Summer camp, a Scout badge, or something like that... My jam is sci-fi. Maybe it's time I rewatch that space Western series, Firefly.
