When did your business get started?
It was started by me in May 1981 because there was no book store in Newtown at the time.

Why did you choose the town you did to open your business?  
I lived in the borough and did not want to commute.

What is your business best known for?
Our business is probably equally known for its great selection of used paperback books and new and used music.

What's something interesting about your business your customers might not know?
Some might not realize that we have an ever increasing selection or vinyl and that we order new music every week at no additional charge.
