You never know what you'll find…

October 25, 2007

From the Truman State University (Kirksville, Missouri ) Web site:

Book exchange piles up the unexpected:

The double glass doors of Eddie’s Book Exchange open a wormhole to the past.

Stacks of yellowing volumes line the narrow corridors, antiques fill the dusty  glass cases and rows of oil paintings cover the walls. Owner Karl Hildebrand said his family has owned the bookstore for 146 years….

Within the maze of paperback copies also reside the unexpected one-of-a-kinds, such as 1962 copies of Playboy magazine, a book of Hindu magic, a framed $500 Civil War bond and an autographed Babe Ruth baseball. (emphasis added)

Love the article! but just so everyone knows this picture is not of our baseball, ours is a single signature game ball.
