INCOMING
Found some interesting stuff in Nashua, New Hampshire this week.
A typo on MZB's first citation. So, where in Nashua (if it isn't a book-hunter's secret)? I was living in Londonderry when I first got serious about fiction magazines, and started haunting the bookstores in Derry and occasionally Nashua...
ReplyDeleteTodd, There is now something called a "Used Book Superstore" on Daniel Webster Highway and a little further up the street there is a Savers Thrift Store -- some good stuff at both but pretty pricey for a thrift store. There used to be a good used book store in downtown Nashua (claiming branches in Lexington, Mass. and in Milan, Italy!) and a decent comic book store in Simoneau Plaza where I could get some good stuff, but they're probably gone now. The days of walking into a shop and picking up some old Gold Medals or some ever older pulps are long gone, alas.

The Unicorn volumes were edited by Hans Stefan Santesson, after all...who had rather eclectic taste.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Nashua update! The Nashua Library and Science Center was about as jazzy as I had access to at ages 12-13...Londonderry's library was rather a joke. Never got over to Derry's.
