I love a good used book store. It probably goes back to my childhood: Mom and I clocked a few hundred hours in The Book Swap (across from Richland Plaza shopping center, but now long gone, so long gone in fact that the place where it used to be just looks like a vacant lot) …

The Golden Pioneer Museum
Mom and I were on our way to lunch one day, and she suddenly wheeled into a gravel parking lot outside what appeared to be a wildly painted storage shed, and said “I’ll give you 15 minutes.” I had no idea what I was in for…
