Happy booking in 2010!

We have recently added a small collection of reference books for speakers including quotations, anecdotes, jokes, and how-to information on giving speeches. Just enter the word Speaking or Quotations, etc. in the keywords box on our "search" page. We are also in the process of adding a batch of books on big bands, film, TV, and old-time radio and hope to get those all done by the end of January..

Old Algonquin Books has been in business almost 26 years and the owners, John and Helen Dunning, are founding members of the Rocky Mountain Antiquarian Booksellers Association RMABA.

Scribner has published five of John's mysteries featuring Cliff Janeway, bookseller and ex-Denver cop, and a mystery about old-time radio in New Jersey in 1942. John also published an extensive encyclopedia on old-time radio, a novel about Denver in the 1920s, and three other earlier mysteries. We don't carry many of these books, but you should be able to find them in your favorite new or used book store. For more information click in the box on the upper right.
