     "If you're ever in San Angelo, please stop and visit. My hours are 10:00am to 5:30 pm Tuesday through Saturday; and Monday by chance. I've been a serious bookseller since 1995, and my shop might be considered a bit old-fashioned. I don't take debit or credit cards, but I do accept out-of-town checks with proper identification. I have an extensive, wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling inventory of Texana and Western Americana. And I’m particularly proud of my Texas County and Regional History section which takes up over 70 linear feet of shelving!  I also offer large sections devoted to Range and Cattle; Frontier Military and Forts; The Texas Revolution and the Republic of Texas; Spanish Exploration and Influences in Texas; The Mexican Revolution.  There’s a sizable section of fiction by Texas and Southwest authors. And much more…
