Books….donate, trade, buy

The book store closest to Crown Hill that we know of will be the new Couth Buzzard that will open soon on Greenwood Avenue at 84th Street.  The owners invite you to drop off books you want to donate or those you want to offer for a credit.  Starting October 5, Gerry and Theo will be ready to take materials. Their tentative opening date for the new location is November 1.  If you were a customer/trader at the former Couth Buzzard, there’s good news that they still have their record of $$$ credits you might have accumulated from trading in used books.

Couth Buzzard was displaced from their former location in the Kens Market building at 73rd and Greenwood when Kens Market began its expansion.

Pleasantly I was surprised by the fresh (not overcooked) vegetables, chicken that did not have a rubbery texture and rice cooked to perfection.
