Good luck finding old books at any store. I stumbled dacross this topic as I grew to I have children and grandchildren. When I was young and preteen in the 60's, my mother bought a book titled "Mother Goose and Grimm". It had all the Mother Goose stories as well as all the Brothers Grimm stories in one book. It was as big as a family Bible and just as thick. I loved that book. I wish i had taken it when left home. When I was a parent in the 80's, I was living in a small town and could not find it. This was pre-internet time for us and after hitting every kind of bookstore out there I gave up. But when I became a grand parent, the internet was up and running so I searched high and low but no copies could be found. I did find a book that had the same title, bit it had been edited to be politically correct which gutted the original.stories. Later, around 2010 i was looking for a Holy Bible in the original King James version. I am talking about the one with all the thousand and there's and double f's instead of s's like in the word success being spelled succeff. I could not find one. By this time I had a friend who collects and sells old books. He found me one but it took months. My point in all this is that old books, CERTAIN old books, any book that has American culture or American heritage are being systematically removed from circulation. I asked my bookselling friend if he thought this was the case and replied "most certainly, I have been observing that for years, that is why I do what I do." He is not a Christian or a patriot per se, so I found this disturbing.
