We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. 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. 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.

Media reviews

An engaging history of America's enduring fascination with RVs, from early custom-built 'house cars' to the Merry Pranksters' Day-Glo bus to the Winnebago (The New Yorker)

Home on the Road is ultimately a social history that allows us to see beyond the kitsch commonly associated with the mobile home, uncovering the inventiveness and creativity that helped people realize their nomadic impulses. (Architecture)

America's love affair with the open road and its refusals to do without the comforts of home have produced some amazing vehicles. . . . [Roger B. White] recounts the evolution of these mobile dwellings and explains their allure as an irresistible 'combination of wanderlust and family togetherness.' The author takes a pop culture approach, including the psychedelic buses of the 60s like Ken Kesey's poetically named Furthur and Wavy Gravy's Road Hog. . . . Even in a no passing zone, this is no passing fancy. (New York Times)
