Bill Cosby Sings

Bill Cosby Sings

In the 1960’s and 70’s many movie and TV personalities got the idea that if people liked their acting then they would also like to hear them sing. Most of these celebrities were incorrect in this assumption and their records didn’t sell very well. But what a great collectable they are. “Bill Cosby Sings” is one of two singing albums he released and his singing is passable. The real fun in these celebrity albums are playing them for friends and having a good laugh. I have quite a few in my personal collection and we have some good ones in the shop including one of my favorites  “A Musical Trip With George Burns”.

This week our “Pick” is not very photogenic but that does not diminish it’s desirability to book lovers everywhere. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The House of the Seven Gables. I believe this is the second printing of this world famous novel. Printed by Houghton, Mifflin & Co. in 1879. It is in very good condition for it’s age and much more affordable than a first edition.

With the new Star Wars movie coming out it’s the perfect time to highlight this complete set of vintage Burger King Return of the Jedi Glasses. See Princess Leia as Jabba the Hutt’s Prisoner, Luke and Han Solo fighting their way off of Jabba’s Sail Barge, experience the final battle between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker and party with the Ewoks once again. It’s hard to believe that these glasses are over 30 years old. It does show the staying power that some collectables have, especially Star Wars.

On a side note we will be open every day from now until Christmas for your shopping convenience.
