Bob sells books and I buy books. It’s important and enjoyable for me to have my own personal reference library. Bob has one, if not the largest collection of used, hard to find, or out of print history books in the region. Stop buy and take a look, you could find something that you’ve been looking for…for a long time!

What a lovely spot that we found. We spent a good time looking through all the books. The owner was there and very kind, as he was able to point us to books. We found stuff for us and our kids. If you live close, you are lucky. If you are traveling close, it’s a fun stop! Keep reading.
