The Book Mart was located on the corner of 6th and Court Streets in Reading PA. The store opened in 1935 and was sold in 1976. It doubled in size between opening and being sold.

I used to DOMINATE the coloring contest at Seafood Shanty 🙂
I actually picked up a stapler that was bought there back in the 60s or 70s and the box of staples still has their name on it. Pretty cool.
I just found a business card from Moyers Book Mart, 22-28 N 6th Street, in my copy of Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit, which I bought for a $4 discount there around 1990. I wish Reading still had such stores.
