Jim Reed Books – Birmingham, Alabama
If you’re ever in Birmingham (or anywhere close), love books and wandering around junk/antique shops then Reed Books is a MUST visit! Located at 2021 Third Avenue North, Birmingham, AL. I gotta get back over that way just to visit once again and see what’s new (old). 😉

A collection of historical documents relating to the history of the steam engine.
Quite a few interesting online books dealing with steam engines and their designers/builders. Good stuff!

As Steve noted in the comment on the previous post I got to looking around and changed the theme. It’s one I am using on the Mysterious Volumes (books we have for sale) site and liked it so much I decided to try it here as well.
Have added a link to our Cedar Springs Bazaar store at Specialist Auctions in the side bar. Slowly getting the books put in. Bob from Specialist Auctions posted in a comment to a previous post offering help and I do appreciate it but the only way I have the stuff I want to list is in a database file in ABE books format and not in an eBay store or in any other store, so I guess I’ll just continue to post the stuff in one at a time. Going to take a while but since I am gonna have to scan all the covers and adjust prices and such anyway I guess its the best way to do it. Just hate losing the time those 3000+ items took to get listed with ABE… 😦
Other that working on stuff here on the computer and sorting more books haven’t done much today. Got to get out and about tomorrow. Till then… 😉

Bartleby, the Scrivener by Herman Melville – Project Gutenberg
Bartleby, the Scrivener by Herman Melville
Saw a mention of this book in a story that I read the other day and decided to look it up and see if I could find it as it sounded interesting. Tis a very strange book. Fairly short book and one I will read again in a few months after I have had time to digest it a bit more. It does make you think.

ÃŽle mystérieuse. English by Jules Verne – Project Gutenberg
First read this when I was 11 or 12. Fantastic book. Haven’t seen a copy in years so guess I’ll get to read it on the computer this time.
