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.

First line

On June 29, 1938, approximately half the final length of Connecticut's Merritt Parkway - seventeen and a half miles of gleaming white concrete - was officially opened by a motorcade of some forty cars with Governor Wilbur Cross and the aged former congressman Schuyler Merritt, for whom it was named, heading the procession.

From the rear cover

This book traces the history of Connecticut's Merritt Parkway from the proposals for its construction and design in the early 1920's to its triumphant completion in 1940.
