Oh well, regardless of the season, we never have trouble selling treasures from the #LoebClassicalLibrary. 📕📗📕📗 A big batch just came in across the used book buying table - get them before they’re gone! #collectible #classics #classicalphilosophy #classicalhistory #shoplocal #bookstores #indiebookstore #usedbooks #bookstagram #redandgreen
Tonight, novelist James Anderson O'Neal kicked off our 2019 with help from his grandfather's WWI dagger! (Don't worry, it was a reading-related weapon.) #RileyandtheRoaringTwenties #novelist #localauthor
Happy New Year! Anyone attempting #dryjanuary? Or perhaps interested in making some changes in your life beyond this month? Either way, here’s 2 new titles and 3 old ones to inspire you! SOBER CURIOUS and THE ALCOHOL EXPERIMENT delve into the effects of alcohol on the body, and strategies to be less dependent on it socially and physically. And we have 3 little “temperance songbooks” — these short tunes were rally and protest songs, used by the American temperance/prohibition movement in the early 20th century. Including hits such as “Teetotal Chorus,” “Away! Away! the Sparkling Wine,” “Only a Glass,” and “Perishing! Perishing!” Yep, they’re wildly entertaining. Whether or not you’re planning on a dry January, these are fascinating slices of history! What are your resolutions for 2019? . . . #newyear #newyearsresolution #happynewyear #bookstagram #bookstore #indiebookstore #shoplocal
