Notes/Thoughts

• This bookstore is also a game shop, which seems to be mostly what it carries. The used books are downstairs and while there is not that many it is definitely quite varied. I got excited when I spotted one of the WPA American Guide books, but it turned out to be a 1950s edition of the Tennessee guide.
• Almost considered getting no book here or this maybe slightly interesting one about what I think was an Indiana politician, but then I spotted Supper at the Maxwell House and had to get it. I'm still barely into the Breakfast at the Hermitage book, but it's just interesting enough that I still want to get the whole series.
• Has book jacket, although it's in two pieces in the back of the book (maybe I can eventually sort of fix it?).

Notes/Thoughts

• Didn't think I'd end up with a 1940s book today. Not that I didn't think about it as I did try to see if there were any used bookstores to check out on our route today, but the only interesting one was a little too far out of the way. We just popped in here because it looked fun to browse (and it was). I didn't even consider it would be a place for some old books, but it actually was, although only two 1940s books. I really wanted the History of Fishes one, too, but didn't want to spend $35 today (or at least not on one item because I did come close since I also picked up some records).
• "In his own right, the collector may use any means to capture fish for which he can obtain sanction from oval authorities. He may bait- or fly-fish, spear or gig, seine, net, trap, poison, electrocute, stun with explosives, use a set-line, shoot, or even collect fish by shooting fish-eating animals. Effort should be made, however, to avoid arousing antipathy of conservation officials, sportsmen and land owners." p. 15
