THE BOOK STORE !
Books and Items of Interest
For Inquisitive Inventors

Now Available! By Popular Demand!
“INVENTOR’S LOG BOOK”
The right way to record your invention – Order Below!

Inventors are curious, creative people
with active minds and vibrant imaginations.

We make an ongoing effort to provide
you with stimulating, intriguing
and unusual books
that are often hard to find,
at prices that are always hard to beat!

   

    Many of these books are very limited in availability – at times we can only get 6 or 10 copies of a particular title. So if you see something you like, order it now. It may not be here the next time you visit.

    We are constantly searching for books that will feed your mind, your imagination and your curiosity. As one title sells out, we replace it with another that we hope will be equally stimulating and equally inspirational to the creative mind.

    As you continue to visit, you will see that this is a “rolling” inventory. You can always expect great books and great buys from the BOOK STORE. We can’t tell you exactly what you’ll find on any particular visit, but we do guarantee the items in stock will have been chosen with you, the inventor, in mind.

    Some of these books are remainders, meaning they may be overstocks or
out-of-print titles. They might even have a small mark on the bottom of the book to indicate this. Others are current releases, but aren’t widely available or can’t usually be found at these discounted prices. In either case, there are some wonderful volumes here, books that really should be on your current reading list. So, as always, browse and enjoy. (And pass the word on to your friends!) Remember, we’re here for your benefit.
