In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item.

Yet he has a pleasing way of juxtaposing the known facts with a more nuanced view of his subject than the portraits offered by critics such as David McCullough and worshippers such as Dumas Malone. A lucid, gently critical view of the great president and empire-builder and most literate of politicians.īarring the discovery of a trove of unknown documents, it’s unlikely that anyone will soon find anything new to say on the matter of Thomas Jefferson, and Hitchens ( Love, Poverty, and War, 2004, etc.) ventures no discoveries. The later collections The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding (1960), Poirot’s Early Cases (1974), Miss Marple’s Final Cases and Two Other Stories (1979), and Problem at Pollensa Bay (1992) reprint between them all the stories in this collection except the title story “Three Blind Mice”, an alternate version of the play The Mousetrap, and the only Christie short story not published in the UK. Three Blind Mice and Other Stories is a collection of short stories written by Agatha Christie, first published in the US only by Dodd, Mead and Company in 1950.

"The second novel follows Winter to a temptation-packed purgatory. True fans won’t let Winter travel alone on this amazing journey. That’s what Winter thinks.Ī heartwarming, heart-burning, passionate, sexual, comical, and completely original adventure is about to happen in real time-raw, shocking, soulful, and shameless. Hell is the same as any hood and certainly the Brooklyn hood she grew up in. Will she blow Winter’s head off? Can Winter dodge the bullets? Or will at least one bullet blast Winter into another world? Either way Winter is fearless. Simone, Winter’s young business partner and friend, is locked and loaded and Winter is her target. But Winter is not the only one with revenge on her mind. She’s eager to pay back her enemies, rebuild her father’s empire, reset his crown, and ultimately to snatch Midnight back into her life no matter which bitch had him while she was locked up.

The long-anticipated sequel to Sister Souljah’s million copy New York Times bestseller The Coldest Winter Ever. Unfortunately, she fails to conceive, and is blamed for several miscarriages and fertility issues. The story involves young Ada, who is happily planning to follow in her mother’s path to become a midwife. Unfortunately, the scattered, mostly rural settlements are prone to witch panics, punishing victims in response to all kinds of perceived threats, especially to fertility. Women who cannot conceive are ostracized or even killed. The mass death has impacted the culture, reinventing Christianity into a cult of babies, and generally worshiping baby making. The survivors are remnants of European settlers, natives, and slaves, living in scattered settlements. The ‘alternate reality’ includes a deadly pandemic in the early nineteenth century (gee, what inspired that?), which wiped out the young United States. It’s certainly full of classic western stuff, including the legendary Hole in the Wall Gang. The author describes the story as ‘a western set in an alternate reality’. Entertainment Weekly on Barrel Fever Sidesplitting Not one of the essays in this new collection failed to crack me up frequently I was helpless. At last, someone even meaner than the French! The sort of blithely sophisticated, loopy humour that might have resulted if Dorothy Parker and James Thurber had had a love child. Sedariss essays on living in Paris are some of the funniest hes ever written. Sedaris is an amazing reader whose appearances draw hundreds, and his performancesincluding a jaw-dropping impression of Billie Holiday singing I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weinerare unforgettable. Compared by The New Yorker to Twain and Hawthorne, Sedaris has become one of our best-loved authors. Even though Sedaris dislikes his teacher and is afraid of her, he is overjoyed when he realizes that he has finally understood an entire phrase in French. And no one hones a finer fury in response to such modern annoyances as restaurant meals presented in ludicrous towers and cashiers with 6-inch fingernails. Ecstatic, he uses his flawed French to tell her that he does understand, pleading for her to go on, saying, Talk me more, you, plus, please, plus. You Cant Kill the Rooster is a portrait of his brother who talks incessant hip-hop slang to his bewildered father. His recent move to Paris has inspired hilarious pieces, including Me Talk Pretty One Day, about his attempts to learn French. A new collection from David Sedaris is cause for jubilation. I’ve often wished there was an instruction manual to teach you how to live with disability, how to use the experience to make yourself stronger, a better person or simply to get the things you want. You simply want the same things as everyone else and yet, in order to even do simple things, like have an evening out, go on holiday or live on your own, you have to move mountains to make it happen. If you use a wheelchair like me, you very quickly get used to people staring or making odd comments. It’s very easy to let your obstacles define you, especially when everyone else seems to define you by them. If you’ve sometimes found yourself wondering “why me?” then it simply means you’re human, it happens to all of us. However, it can be hard to deal with all the unfairness or disadvantage of the experience. You’ve found ways to deal with the warped or ill-informed opinions of others, to get what you want in spite of the difficulties you face and if you’re lucky, the whole experience has made you a stronger person. You’ve learnt to find your own ways to adapt to the difficulties it presents. You’ve had to work out how to live with a disability by yourself. Unfortunately, your disability probably didn’t come with an instruction manual.
