Vintage artifacts include movie posters, election buttons, comic books, and old diaries. For over forty years, owner and author Jim Reed has procured the obscure items in this unique bookstore in downtown Birmingham, Alabama. The bookshop is open Tuesday through Saturday and has its inventory listed online.
