businesses. That's already been
established, Justice says. But
the bulk of the business, he says
about 75 per cent, will be with
out-of-state dealers and
collectors, whom he expects will
continue buying from him at his
new location.
The Hedgesville Book Center
will be the largest establishment
of its kind in West Virginia: and,
adds Justice, the largest and
most prolific within a fifty-mile
radius.
It s~m.~ fitting that thebeauty
and charm of old books ano
prints should be housed in a
structure that's located in a
small town of equal beauty and
charm, Hedgesville in Berkeley
County.
