We Finally Reveal Our Pretty Faces!

After being online for 7 years we thought we would finally post a photo of ourselves to let any of our internet customers see who they have been or could be dealing with in the future.  As we've mentioned, this is a family owned business and my Father and I are the only two people you will be dealing with if you call us.  The photo above was taken at the beach last year and though we both have stoic expressions on our faces I think it represents us fairly.  We are happy to be here, happy to be able to serve those of you who are interested in rare/interesting/fun/antiquarian books and we hope that you will feel comfortable doing business with us in the future.  If you come into the store you could even meet us in person!  Lucky us.  Thanks again for looking.

The perfect gift for long-time Blazers fans!!! Rip City!!!!



We have a limited number of sets issued by Bank of America during the 1991-92 season featuring the great Blazers players of the early 90s.  I was born and raised here in Portland I can remember screaming my head off rooting for them against the Bulls this year.  It was a tough loss but these are great conversation pieces and basically a must have for any serious fan of the Blazers.  Each set contains five lithographs, each featuring a different Blazer player in action on a bright colorful background.  There is one for Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter, Kevin Duckworth, Jerome Kersey and Buck Williams.  As I said, we have a limited number of sealed sets that would be the perfect gift for any Blazers fan, including yourself.  All of my friends love these and we have already sold 5 or 6 sets so come in to buy one if you're interested because I don't know how long we will have them.  They are $50 per set, and each lithograph is printed on a thicker card-type stock and is approximately 17" x 8".  Let us know if you have any questions at 503 239-5222 and Go Blazers.  Rip City! 

Happy 2011!! We are doing well and hope it's a great one for all of us.

We just want to thank you for looking at our website and/or blog and wish you a happy and healthy 2011.  2010 was long and arduous for many of us and we hope that this year is a great one for you and yours.  We plan on dealing in as many great books and printed materials as we can and hope that you will come visit us when you have a chance, or that we are able to do business with you online if you aren't in the area.  Thanks again and we wish you well.
