Peace of the Past

Antique store • Antique furniture store • Used book store

👍 Great place with awesome selection of books, records and other ephemera. My only concern, other than prices being a touch in the high side… if it’s “Peace of the Past,” then war is in our future? People often mention books, store,

    Upon entering the store, you are hit with the pleasant smell of wood. I could spend all day here looking at the little trinkets and old books. I wish we had a store like this in my area. The store is also larger inside than you might think. It just keeps going and going.

    Follow me here and find clues of the past. See what you can spy among the books and signs.

    Cool shop with lots of high-end antiques were fairly firm on the prices. Lots of books though which was cool for an antique store. Definitely worth checking out

    I love reading old books. I could’ve spent hours in this antique book store. I bought two books from the 1800’s. The owner told me he had books all the way back from the 1500’s.
