The Guggenheims

65973774-b886-4ad2-8c5e-8580a3d446c5-0

A slice of 80’s americana! A rip-roaring satire of Country Music as a humble bartender makes it big.

Light Hardcover (1 lb or less)

Baja Oklahoma

Nice copy of Heinlein’s sci-fi epic! Minor creasing to spine (pictured). Otherwise, clean and unmarked pages, and seems to have been gently used through the years.

Time Enough For Love

A delightful study of the movie comedy duo. Complete with lots of film stills. Very good shape. Clean and unmarked pages, with light fading from sun exposure. Mild shelf wear, as evidenced by slight dog-earing on bottom right of cover.

Otherwise quite nice copy.

The Abbott and Costello Book

Heavy Paperback (2 to 4 lbs)

Ken Follett Bundle

The Man From St. Petersburg / Hornet Fight / The Pillars Of The Earth

An obscure trashy romance from the early 60’s. Can you resist? 

Creasing along spine from use, and some minor dog-earing on bottom of first few pages (both pictured). Pages are clean and unmarked. Overall, in decent shape.

The Tattooed Rood

Chronicles Paris during Nazi resistance. Subsequently made into feature film starring a veritable who’s-who of mid 60’s screen legends.

Is Paris Burning?

Beautiful copy of Twain’s short story collection. Immaculate condition! Will add panache to any bookshelf. 

Reader’s digest edition, though I believe the company made exceptions in the case of their ‘classics’ releases. Looks to be unabridged.

Pure Americana!


Hardcover (1 to 2 lbs)

The Celebrated Jumping Frog - And Other Stories

Has seen a little wear and minor tear through the years. Strangely, it seems about a centimeter was shaved from the top (pictured). Edge clipped on back cover (pictured). Curved spine from former avid reader.  Otherwise, a good reader’s copy.

I Am Mary Tudor

Alexander McCall Smith

Like new condition. Newish McCall Smith…will he deliver on that tantalizing ‘promise’? 

Buy and find out!

44 Scotland Street (14)

The latest, delectably witty installment of Alexander McCall Smith's sumptuous 44 Scotland Street series. For the residents of 44 Scotland Street, life in Edinburgh's intriguing New Town is a thing to be relished. After all, there are new faces to excite Domenica's anthropological imagination, precious moments with his triplets for Matthew to savor, and the prospect of a trip to the promised land of Glasgow for young Bertie. But there are mysteries that need solving too. Could Angus Lordie's dog, Cyril--the only dog in Scotland with a gold tooth--have unearthed a Neanderthal skull? Does the long-suffering Stuart have any hope of kindling a new relationship when Bruce, ever the navel gazer and consummate seducer, effortlessly steps into his pas de deux? And how will the patrons of Big Lou's cafe react to the menu's imminent culinary transformation? The stories of this wonderfully vibrant cast may take unexpected turns, but the warmth and humor at Scotland's most recognizable address will ultimately affirm the joy life brings us all.
