THE MEANING OF STAR TREK (New York: Doubleday, 1997) by Thomas Richards.

Last Thursday, I did a Mad Science show at the Upper Moreland Free Public Library (Willow Grove, PA). Because of the extended break between shows, I arrived pretty early. So, I spent the bonus time by taking a walk through the air conditioned library and, more importantly, perusing their section of used books for sale...

I made an interesting thrift store purchase this weekend. The book's copyright date is 1970. It has a Library of Congress card number, but no ISBN number or UPC code printed on the cover.

It has an old book/used bookstore smell and the promise of creative inspiration.

This Saturday, while visiting with my in-laws in Hadley, MA, we got to spend some time at Grey Matter Books. It's one of those used bookstore archetypes that I love: a shop that appears fairly small at first but which expands shelf to shelf, room to room, and every room holds new treasures.

I ended up getting Arrival by Chiang, an annotated guide to fairy tales, and a noir mystery collection.

The Horror Section was indicated by this clever sign.

@KuJoe hahaha awesome! going to #UsedBook stores and hunting down #books make wonderful dates, FYI.

Barbara Walters just died today at 93 years old https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/barbara-walters-pioneering-tv-journalist-began-today-dies-93-rcna42287

I didn’t actually know who she was when I picked up this book at our local used book sale a few months ago. I bought it because I liked the title and thought that owning a book from 1970 was kind of cool

Today’s #usedbook haul. I got the Fish as a complement to my Wolfgang Iser material and this is my first time taking a look at Basbanes, but I like Manguel and Bloom and it feels like it may be in that area. Very close to a complete Barthes!

Popped into Molly’s in the Italian market today and got Nick Land super cheap and finally found the properly sized Barry Moser-illustrated Paradiso that I’ve been missing from the collection. Great #usedbook day.
