Yeoman's In the Fork


Yeoman's In the Fork.
I'm embarrassed to say that this is the first "actual" book store I've been in besides Books-a-million or a regular library. Yeoman's was so fascinating and the guides were so informative. I had a general idea that people collected writings from Presidents, but I had no idea how in-depth all this "book collecting" got. From the 1st Edition of Huckleberry Finn all the way to Writings of Presidents, I had no clue how interesting these things were. I can honestly say, before our trip to Yeoman's, I probably wouldn't have ever walked in a book store like that and just enjoyed looking at the books, but the whole time we were there, I never once got bored. It was nice to go from class talking about all the different types and covers and things and then going into a collectors book store and seeing things that dated back to around the time we discussed in class. I would LOVE to go back to Yeoman's and/or other bookstores to just explore a little more on my own.
