#usedbookshop — Public Fediverse posts

Made the pilgrimage to Mecca—correction, the Quaboag Book Shop—this Saturday with my son. It's an 80-minute drive for us, but totally worth it.

If you live in New England and love books, this really is a place you have to visit! It's quite possibly the most extensive used book shop in New England these days. They have an incredible selection of used books, particularly old and obscure ones.

The store is in a rural part of Massachusetts, about half an hour west of Worcester. It's a truly beautiful area.

Here's what I picked up on this trip (not including the ones my son bought):

• Time and Again by Jack Finney (hardcover) - I have several copies, but it's always good to have extras!
• The Impossibles by Mark Phillip - sometimes I pick up a book by an unknown author on a whim.
• Alien Planet by Fletcher Pratt - I don't know if I've read this one, but Pratt is worth a gamble.
• The Artificial Man by L.P. Davies - Something about the cover was weirdly familiar, so...
• The Headless Cupid by Zilpha Keatley Snyder - Haven't read this one before, but Snyder's a good author
• The Secret of Skeleton Island (illustrated Alfred Hitchcock edition) - I love the Three Investigators. What can I say?
• 3 by Finney (Jack Finney) - Three short but very memorable novels. I first read this in high school. I have a copy, but another is always good to have.
• Asimov Laughs Again - I'm an old Asimov fan. Saw him speak live at Bridgeport University about 50 years ago. It was memorable.
• Creating A Genre by Robert A. Heinlein (hardcover, "Virginia" edition) - I loathe Virginia Heinlein, but I heard that these were the unedited versions so I'm quite interested.
• Expanded Universe by Robert A. Heinlein (hardcover) - same
• From Time to Time by Jack Finney - Sequel to Time and Again. I read it, didn't like it as much as the first, but I'll give it another try.
