1190.0. "*BOOKSTORES????*" by CSCMA::PERRY () Wed Dec 27 1989 15:40

    I hope I am not duplicating anything by this...
    
    But, I would like to know if anyone out there knows of any
    GOOD occult/new age bookstores in the central Mass area.
    
    I know of one or two in Boston, but I prefer to look around
    here.  
    
    
    If this is already present in the conference listing then pls
    move it.
    
    
    thanks. 
    many blessings.

    There is a Buddhist book store in Cambridge called seven stars.
    I've got the phone number at home someplace.  If I find it I'll
    post it here.  They're in the phone book, though.

    re -1
    
    Thanks for the pointer that Sagada is now Seven Stars.  I had only
    heard of Sagada a couple of years ago, and had never been there.
    I have been to Seven Stars, (and love it), not realizing they were
    the old Sagada.

    Ahhh, book stores, near and dear to my heart....
    
    There is or was a Japanese or Oriental bookstore in Boston, a few doors
    up from Brattle book...
    
    Consider, also, the wonderful treasures to be found in USED bookstores.
    The wisdom of the ages (well, at least back to the dawn of printing),
    lost to modern man (and woman), preserved and (sometimes) at a discount:
    
    The aforementioned Brattle Book, of course, in Boston, off the Common.
    An endless supply in the Cambridge area, especially around Harvard
    Square.
    
    In Suburbia:
    	Dunhams, in Bedford, on Main St (rt 225) just west of the
    	center of town traffic light.  deja-vuish items towards the rear,
    	left hand side.
    
    	Book Bear, West Brookfield on Rt 9, about a mile past the center,
    	on the left (south).  deja-vuish items upstairs, left as you come
    	off the stairs.
    
    	(Can't think of the name, anbody got a Worcester area phone book?)
    	Right hand side of Rt 9, part way to W Brookfield.  Recently opened
    	shop.  Lists "esoterica" as a specialty, had a disproportionate number
    	of deja-vuish items.
    
    (And i could go on, but the yellow pages will do, BOOKS, USED...)
    
    Standard disclaimer: Despite having given them lots of money, i have no
    financial interst in any of these...8)>>.
    
    good browsing

1190.15Vintage Books, FraminghamCIMNET::PIERSONTiger Food??Tue Jan 23 1990 12:0013
    In downtown Framingham, semi next to Woolworth's:
    
    Vintage Books
    Good general stock, good amount of "deja-vu" stock.
    deja-vu stock downstairs, hard left, a full set of shelves, floor to
    ceiling.  PLUS three boxes of astrological books near by PLUS another
    stack of astrology up by the register (looks like they bought a
    collection).

1190.18A spiritual being on a Human experienceFENNEL::ABRAHAMSONThu Mar 08 1990 14:4010
    I have noticed that there is a lot of things going on like the
    Awareness center, and readers and places to go for various seminars and
    such, BUT, they are all in the Boston, or Framingham area. 
    
    Do any of you know of places or people on the other end of 495 that
    I could check out?
    
    Thanks

1190.20Look for _Spirit of Change_CARTUN::BERGGRENBelieving is seeing...Tue Apr 10 1990 15:4014
    Jerry .18,
    
    Sorry for the delay, I'm just catching up in DeJa.  Not sure where
    you live, but look for a quaterly publication in health food stores/
    bookstores whatnot called _Spirit of Change_.  It serves the Central
    Mass area, particularly Worcester and surrounding towns listing many
    practitioners and the types of activities/fellowship you may be
    looking for.
    
    Also, since I am on the staff of this publication I have some copies
    of the Spring issue which came out about a week and a half ago.
    Feel free to contact me off-line Jerry if you'd like a copy.

1190.21MID-WEST BOOKSTORES????MLCSSE::OVERHULSERMon Jul 02 1990 17:437
    How about bookstores in the mid-west, specifically Michigan and
    Wisconsin. We will be going out there in August and are interested
    in any source of info about bookstores which have good selection
    of dejavu topics.  
    Regards,
    Cal
    
1190.22Mid-West Bookstores!!!!Madison, WisconsinNSDC::SCHILLINGTue Jul 03 1990 10:5614
    re .21
    
    Cal, I've lived in Madison, Wisconsin for awhile and know of three
    bookstores that will make for some happy browsing if you're
    looking for dejavu topics:
    - Shakti Bookshop, 320 State Street  (608) 255-5007
    - Mimosa Bookstore , right off State Street
    - Ancient Future,  Williamson Street
    
    I know there are some in Milwaukee too, but couldn't give you
    specifics. Maybe if you call Shakti, they can give you more info about
    Bookstores around the Midwest. Bon Voyage!

    If you're going to be in the Detroit area, I strongly suggest Mayflower
    Books on 12 Mile Road in Berkley, MI (a northern suburb of Detroit).
    
    Any subject you can think of is represented there.

1190.24Michigan storesGLDOA::PAGELStill mything ...Sun Jul 08 1990 13:216
    There are LOTS of good book stores in the Detroit metro area ... if
    you narrow down the area you'll be visiting, I'll gladly enter a
    list.

1190.25Great New Hampshire bookshop!SCARGO::PAINTERAnd on Earth, peace...Mon Jul 09 1990 20:2322
         
    Highly recommended:
    
    			The Toadstool Bookshop
                        Lorden Plaza
                        Milford, NH  03055
                        (603) 673-1734
    
    To get there, take Exit 7W (101A) toward Milford, then look for the
    Lorden Plaza (with a Shaw's store) on the right.  The bookshop is two
    shops to the right of Shaw's.
    
    Their collection of DEJAVU-type esoteric books far surpasses my own. (;^)  
    Nice people, great background music, excellent selections, will special 
    order.
    
    Other Toadstool Bookstore locations:
    
     	o  Colony Mill Marketplace, Keene, NH 03431
       	o  3 Main Street, Peterborough, NH  03458

1190.28In the UPGLDOA::PAGELStill mything ...Thu Jul 12 1990 19:199
    re  .26
    
    I've been swamped here as of late, but tonight I'll try and round
    up a list of good stores in the UP.  It's about 300 miles from here,
    but I do go up there alot and have a pretty good resource list.
    
    Sorry for the delay.

1190.29Michigan storesGLDOA::PAGELNow WHERE is that pillow ... Tue Jul 17 1990 14:4532
    re .26
    
    Finally!  I checked for stores in the UP, and, to my surprise,
    found *nothing* listed as metaphysical/new age.  However,  I do
    know of one store in Marquette that you might enjoy.   It's
    Snowbound Books, 118 North 3rd Street, 906-228-4448.  A great store,
    lots of old/used books, as well as new ones.  Well worth a visit if
    you're a book_browser and love to get lost among them.
    
    Escanaba and Sault Ste. Marie Chambers of Commerce both report having
    none.  (In fact, Escanaba responded with, "We don't have ANY stores
    that sell crystal balls or ANYTHING like that!"  I imagine there
    really are such places up there, but this person reacted with such
    paranoia that I didn't push it.)
    
    Traverse City has one - Higher Self, 328 East Front Street, 616-941-5805.
    
    While in the Traverse area, I highly recommend a side trip to Benzonia.
    Gwen Frostic has a wonderful place there.  Wildlife reserve, book shop,
    gift shop.  She writes wonderful stories, poems and such, and makes the
    most wonderful block prints of nature's wonders.  Windows open down
    into the print shop where her block prints are made into books, notes, 
    calendars, etc.   Gwen is a delightful, tiny little lady ... nearing
    80 years old, who will welcome you like family, and happily sign your
    books or prints.
    
    Have a great trip!
