Hi Everyone,
I hope you all had a spooky-ass Halloween.
I went to the Montford Haunted Gymnasium, the bloody
public bathrooms were particularly claustraphobic and freaky.
Cheers to them on a job well done.
Here is something scarey for you.
The only thing you can find on Youtube on us is our bathroom.
I'm not sure how I feel about that. Oh but hey, if you happen to know
the fundamentalist Christian who drops off the Jack Chick pamphlets
on the free table tell him to bring us some more. Or if you have any,
swing them on by. If I can get enough I may want to paper a wall
in the bathroom with them. But I need about 200 more I'm guessing.
Along similar lines, I pulled this out of a 90 year old bible.
My guess is it's tongue-n-cheek. But no less sinister.
We did have a great weekend of bookbuying.
Every weekend of bookbuying is a good one really,
every weekend we get in books that I have never seen before.
And that says something too. I've worked here for years, I have
also worked at Malaprop's and when I lived in NYC I ran a
little bookstore that specialized in Lacanian Psychoanalysis (Other Books).
So I think I have some street cred in the I've-handled-some-odd
-books world. Or not. Your welcome to argument me down and
humble me with shame and your own inflated sense of grandeur.
Then maybe once I'm a soiled bit of ash, you can point out all my
spelling and grammatical errors in my blog. Jerk. Whatever makes
you feel good about yourself I guess.
Hello...father? What now?
So we had a good weekend buying books, as I was saying and here
are some cover scans.
Really lovely 112 year old book. Excellent shape and none
too expensive neither.
Maoist folktales (from China ).
Translated to English.
Nice person brought in a handful of M.L. Von Franz
books in.
I'm sure this is a great work on the metaphysical uses of rocks, but
the title makes me laugh like a seventeen year old.
One of my favorite books of all time.
This is a really cool book. It is literally the
translated fragments of Sappho's
works. Haunting and strange like dream flashes.
Hey if anyone knows who the clown is that keeps leaving partially chewed
toothpicks around the store, tell him (or her, but probably him)
that I am on to him.
That's all for now. It's Sunday and gloomy so you should come
on by and make time with us and spend your hard earned money here. And if not I still give you permission and hope you have a lovely week.
