I enjoyed this Texas Observer article by Sarah Angle titled "Booking to Denton." It's about a massive bookstore (Recycled Books) that has taken up shop in an old Opera house. You read that right. Imagine if the place was haunted by a Phantom!
One of the things the article mentioned is that they had a first edition of Carrie. You know I had to call! However, that was sold. A very nice man did tell us that they also have a first edition of the gunslinger, $700. Wow, pretty cool. No, I didn't buy. . . because my credit card at that ZERO balance feels so good. But. . . anyone on the hunt for a first of the Gunslinger. . . follow the beam.
The full article is HERE.

I enjoyed this post because this is near where I live. I got my master's at University of North Texas which is why this store stays in business. It's the cornerstone of a nifty downtown area.
ReplyDeleteAnd if any of your readers happen to pass by Denton (it's just off I-35 40 miles north of Dallas) not only can you browse through here - across the street is the best homemade ice cream at Beth Marie's :).
I've always wanted to go to Denton to go to Denton Bible Church where Tommy Nelson preaches.
