Off The Dusty Bookcase

Stories of wonder and adventure once filled bookshelves instead of phones and e-readers. Books you held in your hand that, in the right place, acted as portals to worlds and lives you could live over and over. All you needed was a little money to buy a passport to wherever or a library card to borrow passage for a while.

But some of those journeys, many of those far-off places and the people who created them have been forgotten to time. While we still watch movies based on some of them or read tales most definitely inspired by them, works from authors that maybe were even well household names have been lost in the past.

But not for Aubrey G. Stephens.

OFF THE DUSTY BOOKCASE is a collection of reviews and reminisces written by Stephens, a teacher, writer, and fan of reading since his early trips to a Mississippi library. Beginning in that very building, OFF THE DUSTY BOOKCASE from Two-Gun Phoenix Publishing introduces readers of all ages to forgotten works of genre fiction while also touching on cinema, history, and more. This collection of essays is more than just a reminder of authors and their works. It's the love and passion of one man for the written word and all that it means to everyone.
