Vintage Hardy Boys (SOLD)

Just in, a group of vintage children's series books, 50s mostly, including a number of Hardy Boys titles in jackets.  Condition of the books varies.  We'll be pricing them through the week.  If you're interested in knowing when the Hardy Boys books will be available, e-mail us with contact info and we'll notify you.  Prices TBD, but probably quite reasonable since the books were well-loved and many times read.

  • A complete Childcraft from 1949, $40
  • A Children's Hour set from 1953, vols.1-4 and 6-16, $30

For the first post, not books

While we generally don't accept donations of vinyl records (contact The Bop Shop across the courtyard to sell your records) we just couldn't say no to a wonderful collection of 80s jazz, soul, and R&B.  We have these priced at just $1 per disc.  Most are in vinyl sleeves!
