Do you have a copy of…. I’m looking for a certain book… Can you look up your books in stock and tell me if you have… By phone and front door, these are regular questions. Surprisingly, a good many of the inquiries are about obscure or scarce titles. Someone Cry for the Children is an example. Another inquiry about it today. It’s been out of print for years. We had three copies before Christmas 2009 and sold them all. It’s not been back in stock since. The Mullendore Murder Trial is another one. It concerns an Oklahoma murder case in northeast Oklahoma’s Osage County. Hard to find, and not cheap. The odd part? When scarce books are in stock, they sell infrequently. Folks just wonder “Do you have it?” and that seems to be reassurance enough.

No longer is the dual-language dictionary the only way to go! Audio CDs make it easy to learn a second language even while driving in the car (safer than texting while behind the wheel, too!). Spanish in stock and others may be special ordered. We still have the dictionaries, as well, in a number of languages in stock.
Bilinguals in Spanish can practice reading skills with the launch of the new Tulsa hispanic community website, Tulsa Hispano. Articles appear in both English and Spanish. Read and learn, in more ways than one!
