Fred Rogers (1928-2003), better known as Mister Rogers, was the star of the popular children's program Mister Rogers' Neighborhood for 895 episodes. The show ran from the late 1960s until 2001 and continued for over a decade after the last episode was filmed making it one of the longest running shows on PBS.

Rogers and his cast of characters dealt more with the social and emotional development of children than academic development. Rogers tackled issues such as anxiety, loss, race relations, and growing up mostly through direct and calm dialogue with the camera.

In doing so, he became one of the most beloved entertainers in American history. Come take home this record with iconic Mister Rogers songs for $15 in the store on Friday!

After having been stricken down with a sour gall bladder, I make my triumphant return with this gem - Murder at the Ingham County Fair!

This Richard Baldwin is signed and inscribed to Matthew (do you know any Matthews who love Ingham County?) and tells the tale of the murder of Judge Winston Beckinridge who was murdered at the fair! Given that fair season is just around the corner, what better way to get into the summer spirit than with a riveting locally themed mystery? For $10 + shipping, this can be yours!

Note: A quick Google search reveals that there has never been an actual murder on record at the Ingham County Fair.

Condition: Book shows minor wear and has some dirtiness inside the front cover.

It measures roughly 16" x 48" and can be yours for only $20 + shipping!

Have you ever spoken with someone and determined them to be a terrible but oddly doggedly determined liar? They tell the most ridiculous lies that no one could possibly believe and you wonder, how could such a person persist in being such a terrible liar and keep at it time after time?

"On Bu****it" posits that there is a difference between a liar and a "bullsh*tter". A liar is trying to stop you from finding the truth whereas a "bullsh*tter" is not really concerned with this - they exist untethered to reality! On Bu****it was first published in 1986 and has been republished numerous times since. Help wade your way through the BS for $10 + shipping!

Condition: This book shows light wear from age and use but is otherwise in great condition.
