A Fraternal Visit from Americana Exchange's Bruce McKinney

Saturday was a fairly slow day, which in and of itself is ok, but I appreciated the slowness more when Bruce McKinney from AE walked through the door. You should remember that quite often I post links to the AE monthly online  newsletter as the information contained therein is usually excellent for Bookmen of all levels. We had an extended chat, and I benefited significantly from his cogent observations about the trade and life in general. If you don't subscribe, please do so, it's wonderful education.  Here's the link:     AE

Recent Acquisitions 2012

It's been a very good year so far for acquiring stock that's worthy of being in our store, and worthy of our customers. That always makes us feel great, and hopefully this trend will continue. All  books are First Editions, First Printings, unless otherwise specified.New goodies include:

Bookstore 104 Registration - a few spaces left.

The first of the Bookstore Series for 2012 is Bookstore 104 -It's A Mystery. This is a course similar to Bookstore 103, but it is a specialty class in collectible mystery authors and books, and requires, as usual, considerable outside work. Registration and details:   It's A Mystery  Feel free to call me if you have any questions - 702.444.9415

Back By Popular Demand

Since I abandoned this blog I've had quite a large number of people complain that I am a quitter, and that the blog is much more worthwhile than am I. Well, I'm back, but most of the postings will be new arrivals, sales, and the ongoing Bookstore Series of courses at UNLV. And, of course, books of worth and worthwhile books.And other book-related things.And...  Happy New Year to you all !
