20th Century Books

I have a lot of autographed mysteries in stock. A friend and customer of mine collected these books for years. He traveled for work, so was able to attend book store events all over the country. He also regularly attended the mystery fiction convention Bouchercon. Well, like all of us, there came a time when he had to downsize, so he has been carrying boxes of those books up the steps into my store. I picked this example because I enjoy Joe Hensley's mysteries, and he also wrote science fiction. I got to know him while attending a science fiction convention in Cincinnati, Midwestcon. This was in the late 60s. and I appreciated that he was willing to chat with me, a teenager.

Anyone still have a laserdisc player? I ask because one of my customers is downsizing his large collection of these, er, obsolete artifacts. I've seen evidence that people still sometimes buy these, mostly for modest prices, though that does vary. They were quite expensive when new, of course.
