Wait, wait, I'll buy it, I'll buy it...

...I wish. This makes me sad! Loome Antiquarian Booksellers in Stillwater, MN is closing. Admittedly I'd never heard of Loome Theological Booksellers before Justin Taylor at Between Two Worlds mentioned it, but what especially caught my eye was the part about the bookstore being housed in the Old Swedish Covenant Church in Stillwater, because I attend an Evangelical Covenant church, which used to be the Swedish Covenant. (I don't know the history of that particular church in Stillwater.) And I love both old churches and old books.

The story of Stillwater and its connection with books is quite interesting, including its status as an official booktown.

Anyway, if you live near there, you can get some great old books cheap, and if you don't, you can order online! (And apparently it's just the antiquarian-book branch of Loome Theological Booksellers that's closing.)

Please, please...save the books!
