I've previously posted on yorktownsquare.com about how the York County Heritage Trust's Book Blast solved a puzzle for me.
I was trying to figure out a way to frame the massive amount of World War II material available into a story line for a local book on the topic. I ran across a box of war-era "Shop News," the company newsletter for York Corporation, now Johnson Controls.
Yorkco's people would become my framing device.
Anyway, the result was the book "In the thick of the fight", and I've been grateful to Lila Fourhman-Shaull and her annual used book sale ever since.
The Book Blast is now under way, and here are the particulars:
Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Agricultural & Industrial Museum, 217 W. Princess St., York.
Books are $2 for hardbacks and $1 for paperbacks, with collectibles priced separately. On Friday, all books except collectibles are half price. On Saturday, books are a buck-a-bag and the special collectible section is half price.
