(Note–Adam Kluger is not only a top notch writer and artist, he knows when and where to aim a camera.I think we’d all love to have out hands on some of the wares in this window. Reminds me of the time, at least twenty years ago, when I found eight original Amazing Stories dating back to before The War (WWII for the very young) at the local St. Vincent DePaul. I spent something like five bucks and got them all (those things can pack a big price amongst collectors) and I gave to to a friend’s wife so she could give them to him as a birthday present–told her to leave my name out of it. He is a big collector of such things and that made it the hit of the birthday party. His wife, also my friend, was grateful because he is one of those people who has everything. It got me drinks with the good stuff in it and it is a good thing to make people happy. I imagine most of the items in Adam’s pictures will do that for anyone with a love for books.–Leila)

The photos reminded me of browsing at the venerable old Trading Post resellit shop in the shadows of The Gateway Arch in S. Illinois during the 1960s. There I’d find awesome ACE Double SCI-FI novels for 45 cents (Trading Post second-hand price ten cents). There would also be lurid “adult” novels and even primitive graphic novels, with select sketches at the end of the chapters, in the event your imagination wasn’t heated enough already. Novels by Erle Stanley Gardner which retailed for a quarter new and ten cents used. Plus my favorite, reprints of old Street & Smith Doc Savage novels. I must’ve had a hundred. Thanks, as Bob Hope used to say, for the memories.
