Leary’s Book Store was a landmark in downtown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for nearly one hundred years. In 1969, when it closed, it was known as the “oldest book store in the United States.” ==Business== Leary’s Book Store was in the business of buying and selling used books. It purchased large collections of books from private libraries and offered them individually for sale. It claimed to have "twenty thousand square feet of books, representing nearly five hundred thousand volumes." There is evidence Leary’s Book Store also published books, such as: *''The Talmud: Selections from the Contents of that Ancient Book, Its Commentaries, Teachings, Poetry, and Legends. Also, Brief Sketches of the Men who made and commented upon it.'' Translated from the Original By H. Polano, Philadelphia: Leary's Book Store, 1876. *''Leary's Ready Reckoner: Form Book & Wages Calculator.'' Philadelphia: Leary, Stuart & Co., 1904. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leary's book store」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
