Book of the Week - The Kennedy Detail
Good morning Book Lovers,
This week I have come across a very interesting title and one that is quite scarce. Even after almost 60 years after John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, we have been collectively fascinated by the circumstances, the conspiracy theories, the tragedies the family has endured...
Book of the Week - FOR SPACIOUS SKIES
Good morning Booklovers,
For this week’s installment I thought I would offer up something to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the NASA’s Apollo 11 mission to the moon. Of course, it would be ideal to have a book written by either Buzz Aldrin or Neil Armstrong, who actually walked on...

Book of the Week
Good morning Book Lovers.
As I sit here in the dog days of summer, and watch my team, the Red Sox, continue to play less than inspired baseball, I am reminded of books that combine sports and mystery. There have been many mystery and thriller authors who have featured an...
Book of the Week
Good morning booklovers! For a lot of us who love books, we are almost as passionate about movies. Understanding that a movie, in my opinion, can never quite move us the way a well written book can, it can certainly entertain us by telling a great story. Which is really...
Book of the Week
Ok, so I acknowledge that I'm a homer; born in raised in a small town just outside of Boston, on the other side of Boston Harbor from Logan Airport, called Winthrop. I love my hometown and Boston passionately and I didn't realize how great it was until I left the area...
Book of the Week
Hey Booklovers! This week’s Blog will be the first of many that I’ll focus on one specific Author. Someone, of course, who is as interesting a person as their books are. I will start with the extremely prolific, extraordinarily successful, and mildly demented, Robert Bloch.
Robert Bloch, if you have...
Book Of The Week
Good morning Book Lovers, today we will talk about Vintage Paperbacks, a frequently overlooked and underrated area of collecting but is truly interesting and a time of fun to collect; not to mention affordable.
To begin though we have to go back to the origins of the Paperback. Now there...
Book of the Week
Cookbooks, or the more commonly used term in the Antiquarian book trade, Cookery Books, has long been a quite interesting genre for book collectors. (Cookery being the more British term and the one used when we were still colonies in the 18th centruy and all the cookbooks were all and...
Book of the Week
Howdy Book Lovers!
Beginning today I will begin a new Book-of-the-Week feature. Nothing pedestrian here but rather something reasonably interesting that you do not see every day even in the collectable book world let alone the mass-market.
It may be nothing more than an interesting title or dust-jacket...
