Made the Pilgrimage to Larry’s Bookshop in his hometown.

I really hope that this can stay up in the sub. This was a very, very special day for me.

The store is no longer in the family. But, the current staff do well to honor Larry, and his legacy.

The vast majority of the inventory was personally purchased by Mr. McMurtry, and most of them even have handwritten prices inside them, written by the man himself. I met Larry’s brother while there, and got to purchase a book that was in Larry’s private home collection, so I know for a fact it’s a book that he’s personally read. There is “Lonesome Dove” memorabilia scattered around, and the staff is super friendly and helpful, and also very anxious to tell you all they can about Larry and his amazing collection.

I’ve visited it, too. Amazing shop. Did the new owners keep the wall off books on rivers?

I don’t know what you’re talking about, and they were very thorough with the tour they gave me, so maybe they didn’t.

Nice! I stopped by there about 10 years ago--good to see it's still around!

I could spend days in this store and never get bored. Love the sign in the last pic.
