Local Book Finds Spring 2021

These books were purchased during the middle of March.


The books came from the same store where I purchased a large number of library hardcover editions of Christopher Pike and R. L. Stine books.  The two Lois Duncan books came from the same library as the Pike and Stine books.

I also purchased this book at the same store.





I have a collection of old books about kittens and cats.  For the most part, I don't seek them out.  I buy what I happen to run across.

The main find is this next one.  Most of these books were purchased in one store.  The three Mercer Boys books and the library bound Nancy Drew book were purchased in another store on the same day.  The rest of the books came from the same place.














I also found these two books.



In April, I purchased these books.

Great finds, as always, loving your blog!

On the subject of cat books, have you ever come across The Cat and Mrs. Cary by Doris Gates (illustrated by the wonderful Peggy Bacon)? Worth a try if you see it, Gates was a Newbery Honor recipient for Blue Willow.

Also Silently the Cat and Miss Theodosia by Felice Holman (illustrated by Harvey Dinnerstein) is a kick...I don't think I've ever read another book where the travel mode is by an Irish mail cart. Both are pretty easy to find and inexpensive.
