Books and Items of Interest
For Inquisitive Inventors
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.
