Portland Pandemoniumers Love to Read

And the Quirkier, the Better 

Mostly what you will find in our Book Nook Section are some of the Odd-Ball things that got published, regardless of their Quirkiness. Among these goodies you will usually find old family Bibles, High School & College Yearbooks, Oddly Illustrated Impudent Children's Books, Quaint Humorists, Instruction Manuals, Text Books, Funky Magazines, Comics, Sheet Music, Diaries, Logs, Schoolbooks, Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, Cookbooks, Catalogs, and such....

Of course, one of the great things about books is that they can transport you to whole new worlds you have never dreamed of where elephants hurry to catch the train, fairies appear when most needed, spells are cast, white knights come to your rescue, your aunt is on the cover, cats wear hats, scissors talk, and one pill makes you smaller...... 

We aways have an eclectic selection that is constantly changing, but not too much of any one thing. So, pull your chair up, have a cuppa, and do a little browsing in our Book Nook Section:
