LARRY KIDDER is often considered New Jersey's David McCullough. He is perhaps our State's greatest historian.
We are delighted to have called him a friend of the Shop for more than a decade.
We are proud to carry all of his many titles on history, with a special emphasis on NEW JERSEY, HUNTERDON COUNTY and the AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
We were so happy to have Larry Kidder visit with us last week and drop off copies of his books.
We are so proud to support our amazing LOCAL AUTHORS and HISTORIANS.
Just a reminder, that our collection of HISTORY, AMERICAN HISTORY, AMERICAN REVOLUTION and LOCAL HISTORY are unparalleled.

We are sending out our first batch of checks from our FIRST SUNDAY program.
Every FIRST SUNDAY of the month, 100% of the sales from our BARGAIN KIOSK go to a local organization that works to make the lives of our neighbors better.
We've only been averaging about $7 in BARGAIN KIOSK sales each Sunday. ( Of course the books are just .99 each. 😀 ) However, we round up each day to a minimum of $25 and make up the difference ourselves.
It's not much, but it's 12 checks a year and it provides an opportunity for folks to join in and make a small difference and project a little good energy into the universe!
So THANK YOU everyone, and we'll keep chugging along.
