Antique Bookstore

If it's not covered by one of those other categories, you should probably talk about it here. Be nice.

Antique Bookstore

Post by creapyrob »

Anybody know where one is?

There used to be one in the Old CIty, over by Patrick Sullivan's (or whatever its callsed now), up some windy stairs.

I've been cleaning out grandma's bookshelves and there are a bunch of my grandfathers old horticulture books.

TIA!

Only at Book Eddy can one find really good books in Cyrillic. We have an absolutely beautiful book about the regional cultures of the Siberiean people from around the turn of the century (18 to 19 I mean).

One of the few places where you can get wierd books or Foriegn books in other languages.

I think they just go to estate sales and buy entire libraries.

They are also supposed to be online..........somewhere.


I can't go in there without spending a bundle though.

Not good for selling, but good for buying: Knoxville Antique Mall over by The Rush and BAM on Kingston pike has a couple of very good dealers.

BTW, if you're selling antique books, you don't want to sell them to a dealer. You would get a better price if you sold them at auction (online or off) or directly to a collector.
The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He'd been climbing down the chimney... his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus.
