What a fun thread!

I love Half-Price Books.

I have found and purchased:

Paved with Good Intentions - Jared Taylor
Election Day Sermons - David W. Hall
The Roots of American Order - Russell Kirk
War Songs and Poems of the Southern Confederacy

I don't remember the exact prices, but they were between 3-7 dollars each.

I thought I saw a Portland OR location in one of their advertisements. There are two here in KC. They are also in CA and I believe TX. They also have an Amazon acct, and I've purchased stuff that way before too.

Hmmm, you're right. It seems I remember seeing an Amazon seller called "Half-Price Books." Do they also have an ebay account I wonder?

I imagine they would, although I don't know for sure. But if you're ever in the KC area, we can all shop together.

But of course, as local ordinances allow.

Of course, I will add that all commercial sections of our bookstore will be closed on the Lord's Day. We will not engage in commerce, and our employees will be released to attend worship. However, we will consider keeping a reading room in back for good Lord's Day reading activities!!!
