Good Ol’ Random History

I stopped by Amazing Alonzo the other day and picked this beauty up for a cheap 6 bucks. Packed full of weird facts and stories of history dating back to Moses. Topics range from how we used to treat the mentally ill, crime and punishment (including mass executions of heretics and misconceptions of the guillotine), cocaine cough drops, and did you know that the French had a fascination with enemas well through the 19th century?! Seriously good read. Pretty certain they don’t have another copy, but search for it.

There is no cooler place in Duluth than Amazing Alonzo. Awesome, awesome place.

I love Barb's bookstore! There are always some really great finds there.

I bring them lots and lots of books, movies and the occasional CD so now I have massive credit there and my books are all like 30% of cover price.  It's a true Duluth gem.
