Book-Comber's Guide to the Oregon Coast

Kenneth Rystrom

4.9/5 (16354 ratings)

Description:Back when Spanish galleons were sailing up and down what has become the Oregon coast, legend has it that, when one of them crashed into the rocks at the base of Neahkanie Mountain, the men on board rescued a treasure chest and buried it somewhere on the mountain. Would-be treasure-seekers have combed and dug all over that mountain during the years since then. None ever found the legendary chest. Visitors to the Oregon coast, and local residents as well, still search for treasures along the 400-mile stretch from Astoria to Brookings. Japanese glass fishing floats, once the prize of beachcombers, have become almost as hard to find as treasure chests at Neahkanie. Today some of the most prized treasures on the coast are to be found, not along the beach, but along the streets of Oregon’s coastal towns. Serious collectors, as well as casual browsers, now comb their way through antique stores, art galleries, and book stores. Nearly every town along the coast has one or several of each of these stores. In the stretch from Astoria to Brookings, I found approximately 60 book stores in 21 communities. I have been shopping these stores, and their predecessors, for about 25 years. By now these stores account for a substantial portion of my own personal library (heavily weighted toward journalism). I almost never fail to find a treasure hidden somewhere among the dark and dusty stacks. (from the Introduction)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
