We're in it Now
That “Book Club Bundle” idea seems to have worked. Once anyway. A group of four used copies of Cold Mountain for $2.50 (and we included information on some websites for discussion questions) took about a week to sell. Unfortunately, while we have two copies… Continue Reading “It Seems to Have Worked”
I don’t even know what book this was marking, because it fell from a pile that I was sorting, but I found an old postcard: The back says: CAPE CRAFT PINEHwy. 17 NorthMyrtle Beach, S.C. 29577Phone (803) 449-5423EARLY AMERICAN DECORATOR ITEMSDIRECT FROM FACTORY AT… Continue Reading “Speaking of "Forgotten Bookmarks"”
