After Christmas Sale: 12/29/2014

Hi this is Betsy from Otto’s.  Set Up Running: The Life of a Pennsylvania Railroad Engineman, 1904-1949 is the story of Oscar Orr, a worker on the Elmira-Williamsport Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad—his day-to-day life and challenges during the heyday of railroad transportation.  It’s written by Oscar’s son, the late John W. Orr.  We’ve been selling it since it came out nine and a half years ago for 34.95 (paperback).  We now have a few for 19.95.  And we still have fresh hardback copies of the World War Two classic, Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand for 14.98 (was $28.00); plus a great selection of children’s sale books featuring Splat the Cat, Fancy Nancy and Skippy John Jones for a fraction of their original prices. 

And just a reminder, if you have any beloved book or bible that needs re-covering or repair, our son Peter is doing wonders with books that have seen better days.  Come look over his work—all this at Otto’s, a booklover’s paradise in the heart of Downtown Williamsport.  Happy New Year everyone!
