Magic Books!

September 05, 2014/ John King Bookstore

We have gotten many new magic titles, including many issues of the Linking Ring, dating from the 1920s to the 1970s for very reasonable prices.

Also, our rare book manager has cataloged some items you can see at rarebooklink.com.

John K. King Used & Rare Books

Michigan's largest bookstore with over one million used and rare books. Operating since 1965, located in in downtown Detroit.

We’ve recently been featured in this beautifully put together book about bookstores by travel writer Marianne Julia Strauss! If you need a bookstore bucket list this is it 😎

So word on the street is we’re the #bestbookstore in #detroit 👀 #bookstagram #hourdetroit #bestofdetroit2020 #ifyouaintfirstyourelast

#parkinglotturkey #update On Monday, crews came through and trimmed the grass along side the freeway, smashing the nest and causing our turkey to run away. The eggs in the nest were all unfertilized, as was the one intact egg that John King salvaged. The turkey was back this morning, seemingly unharmed.

HEY GUYS WE’RE OPEN! RIGHT NOW! COME SEE US!

Good news guys, as of a few days ago we have a parking lot turkey 🤎
