ATTENTION GUYS IN THE ATLANTA AREA!!!

[[CAT]CplSlade]

Hey,

Was futzing around the ATL today with my older daughter and checked out a used bookstore called the Book Nook on 3073 N Druid Hills Rd up in Decatur. It actually has comics, dvds, video games, superhero/movie collectibles, cds in addition to books. So, in case this is news to any of you:

In the back room, where the 50¢ paperbacks and military history books are kept, the top shelf is lined with later-day 12" G.I.Joe boxed dolls. Stuff like Patton, B17 Gunner, Tuskegee Airman, yadda yadda - like they had at TRU, I believe.

There is also some 1/18 and 1/6 21C/Ultimate Soldier. I did 1/32 so I'm not as familiar with the bigger stuff but I know there was a 1/18 French Farmhouse set (French something) and another city set but not the fountain. There was a Allied halftrack/truck of some kind, a few other large vehicles, some 1/6 dolls in boxes. Prices seemed average to me but like I said I don't follow that market so...if you got time to kill and you're in the area why not, right?

Looking at their vintage SF books I was able to roughly estimate my own collection (for insurance purposes) at about $$$ crazy. Now I have to figure out how to bulletproof my room against flood damage in the event of. I love it when good news brings new worries- like when your mother-in-law drives off a cliff in your new car.

I cannot likewise recommend Oxford Books & Comics, much to my daughter and I's dismay as it catered primarily to the comic geek crowd and as far as I could tell didn't have any books at all - except maybe for gaming rulebooks. But that was misleading. Shame on you internet for offering them as a search result. Anyway, nothing military there except a board game based on World of Tanks - which seems hilariously ass-backwards to me but hey whatever!
