new year with pictures from our extensive collection of historic photos.
Just right for a rainy day, our selection of Historical Jigsaw

family.
Just right for the junior carpenter in your family, is our
140-piece authentic Log Play Sets (made from
real wood)!

the selection is limited'. So be the first to buy one!
Hey,
Dad'.
Do you remember flying the Balsa Wood Airplanes as a
child? (The
ones guaranteed to find the closest tree or roof?)
Well, we have a great selection of the
old-fashioned, rubber band-driven airplanes in stock right now.
Relive your childhood, as you share an afternoon
with your child.
For
those of you who want to curl up with a good book, we have several new arrivals
waiting for a place in your library,
including autographed copies of Vicki Selander's
Castle Rock
from the Images of America series. For
the determined dreamer, share in the extraordinary journey of aviation pioneer
Molt Taylor in A Drive in the Clouds: The
Story of the Aerocar by Jake Schultz.
Coming out this February from the
University of
Arizona Press, Urban
Farming in the West: A New Deal Experiment in Subsistence Homesteads by
Robert Carriker includes the subsistence homestead project here in Longview.
