Books and books and more books! OH MY!

For those who enjoy reading Star Trek novels we are pleased to announce the acquisition of over 600 books - hard backs, paper backs, cook books, tech manuals, fan fiction, trade paper backs
and more!  And at our fabulous prices resistance is futile!

Like Christmas in August!

We recently acquired a large collection of Star Trek items, and when I say large I mean LARGE.  Three van loads covered the entire sales floor for several weeks and for a time everyday was like Christmas!  Happily we're almost at the end of the line, down to just a few boxes left.  This was like a trip down memory lane...so many treasures we remember from our childhood.
