Do you mean the book store that was in the northeast corner of Cedar and Shields? It was practically my home away from home for many years. I rode my bike there constantly and spent hours, literally, perusing volumes and deciding how I would spend my allowance. I still have some of those paperbacks I bought for 25 and 35 cents. It was called Fresno Bookland and was owned by what I think was an elderly couple, but since I was between 8 and 15 or so at the time, who knows how old they really were? I just remember that the woman, Vern, had gray hair so in my young mind she must be ancient like my grandmother.
