The feel-good place to buy books
The Cracker Barrel by Eric Sloane
The old-time country store was more than just an emporium. With its pot-bellied stove and barrel of common crackers within reach of whoever had the time for chatting, this time-honored institution was also a general meeting house, a public forum, and an entertainment center. With words both wise and droll and his inimitable line drawings, Eric Sloane recreates the flavor of the country store in all its delightful moods and poses. Includes sage opinions on everything from the American necktie, almanacs, and capitalism to the good old days. 55 illustrations.
The books of Eric Sloane celebrate the time-honored traditions of early America and remind us of the ties that forever bind us to them. A prolific artist, Sloane created nearly 15,000 paintings and drawings over his lifetime, many of which enhance his delightful books of bygone days. In addition to being a celebrated artist and folklorist, he was TV's first weatherman, and his books on weather constitute unique works of history, lore, and practical information.
