Newly arrived at McHuston Booksellers! Classic literature from some of the great writers of the 19th and 20th Centuries… For Whom the Bell Tolls, by Ernest Hemingway; Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin; Women in Love by D.H. Lawrence; Homer’s The Odyssey; Frankenstein by Mary Shelley; The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky – all in nicely kept used condition. Published a little more recently – Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy, Schindler’s List by Thomas Keneally, and Dead and Gone by Andrew Vachss. Certainly not rare or hard to find books, but these and others are especially well-kept and priced to read! Need rare books? We have those, too…plus – our everyday special on mass-market fiction (the smaller paperbacks): Buy three, and the fourth one is free!

At one time, the line between Tulsa and Broken Arrow was clear. It was a wide green area that wandered north to south, filled with trees, grasslands, and the occasional stock pond. Now – unless you know the history – it’s impossible to tell where the city ends and the suburb begins! Looking at the bookstore’s online geography, though – it appears that McHuston Booksellers serves only Broken Arrow: incorrectamundo. Not everyone says where they began the day, but visitors to the store have mentioned homes in Owasso, Claremore, Catoosa, Pryor (bit of a surprise there!), Bixby, Jenks, and of course – Tulsa, among others. We don’t have every book in the world in stock here, but then again, neither does any Tulsa area store. Come by and visit us. It’s a short drive from anywhere. Be sure to tell us where you’re from!
Great stories aren’t confined to books – our own lives create anecdotes, enough to fill volumes! Sometimes the two collide, like in the case of the 1840’s German language bible recently reunited with its original owners. When such books come in the shop, every effort is made to find the family that would most appreciate owning the item. (Still working on a New England area wedding gift book, inscribed by the minister and witnesses on the day of the ceremony…) We work to reunite people with their own family stories, too! No charge if nothing is found – many family histories we’ve researched tell tales dating to the Revolutionary War! In fact, the most recent project unearthed the fact that ancestors of the researcher and the client had faced each other in a Civil War battle! (No blows were exchanged following the revelation…)
