About Books Inc

It has been old home week at the bookstore - for the last couple weeks! Leighton, the red-headed New Zealander who worked here for awhile and his family stopped in. It is always fun to see him - he is young and funny!

The previous owner, Steve, stopped in today. He is back from Arizona - taking a break from sunshine and tennis to get the house in Normal ready for sale.

Just now, Tom, who used to live upstairs, next door to the store and worked here years ago is in looking for Steven King books. Tom is a true free spirit - in Bloomington!

I have been working on getting some sections of the store re-inventoried. I started with cookbooks, but got too hungry all the time so I moved to short stories. I have also gotten several big piles of books listed in the inventory lately. Here is a listing of a few titles:

James Patterson - Cross, Step on a Crack and Mary, Mary - hardbacks

Malcolm Gladwell - The Tipping Point, trade paperback; Blink, hardback

Bruce Thomas - Door County, Wisconsin's Peninsular Jewel, hardback

Alfred Lansing - Endurance, Shackleton's Incredible Voyage, trade paperback

Lt. Col. Jay Kopelman - From Baghdad, With Love, hardback

Stephen Pyles - The New Texas Cuisine, hardback

Joseph Campbell - Oriental Mythology, Primitive Mythology, Occidental Mythology, trade paperbacks

This is just a small sampling of the newer items in the store. I also have several books by local authors and some local history items as well.

Stop by for a good spring read - you need a break from all the spring activities which are currently keeping us all busy and entertained.
