What a treasure trove to be found inside of this great book store. I am never disappointed when I enter it. I save money especially for Courtyard Books because I know I can’t walk out of there without buying at least one book. I enjoy older books as I find them to be better written, non-politically correct, and first hand instead of the newer ones where the author transcribes from older books. No matter what you are seeking Jack has it or will keep a lookout for it. Definitely my first pick when looking for books.
