A Trip To The Book Store....

A few weeks ago, I took a trip to the book store for a book signing. 

Steve's Sundry, in midtown Tulsa, is what I would describe as a quaint and traditional bookstore.  Rows and rows of books and magazines (of course) and an old school, traditional counter where you can buy anything from bookmarks and postcards, to a pack of gum.  I even saw several random posters on the wall for purchase.  Posters of the Table of Elements, a super detailed human anatomical chart, and maps of the world. 

This bookstore is located in a small strip center and has been around for 60 years! 

You can visit their website here. 

Steve's has a traditional soda fountain......you can get soft drinks, shakes, ice cream, have breakfast, lunch and dinner.  All while reading a book or a magazine at the counter. :)

Here is the Fountain Counter.....is very nostalgic, I think. 

Steve's also carries a lot of books and DVD's about T-Town and it's history.... 

The children's section is so fun.  They have the real, old school, small comic books, and all sorts of other goodies for kiddo's. 

What's a comic without Archie??

Who knew that Steve's had a giraffe living in the kid's section?!  :)

Does anyone remember these WoolyWilly magnetic toy thingy's? 

I do......

Or Doodle Balls??

Good ol' Gumby and Pokey are in the house.....

I do not remember these Cap Rockets, but I wanted to open one and try it out SO BAD in the middle of waiting at the book signing!!!  I figured that wouldn't be very appropriate......BUT the lady in line next to me, thought it would be funny if I popped a cap rocket!

These "bolz" tops were metal! 

EVERYTHING is plastic these days.  I was excited to see some old school, real live, metal toys still exist.

And then around the corner, I found the Pioneer Woman! 

She was signing books, that's why I went to the bookstore.....

So, I kept waiting in the line.....

And then she signed my book! 

Even though I had to wait in line for quite awhile, I was so glad to get to meet her. 

And, I did have fun exploring this historic bookstore in Tulsa. 

Until next time, peace out!
