Old Time Books is about more than old books, but be forewarned – it is what we’re most passionate about. Here’s a few good reasons why we love old books:

1. Old books actually have original storylines … instead of the cookie-cutter plots you find in most books today …

2. Authors from the past, typically created clean stories … whereas an ever-increasing percentage of authors today work hard in avoiding the soundness of a moral code … (Read more about clean books on TomCannon.org)

3. In old books, the heroes actually are people you want your kids to emulate!

Books by Dr. Tom Cannon include: Two Faces in the Mirror, Servants of the King, We Speak to Nations, Mountain Empire and Changing Natures.

4. Old books offer a diversity of subjects. If a modern book can’t be squeezed into a preset topic, publishers aren’t interested in it – no matter how brilliantly written the book may be. Today, genre is everything, and creative thought means almost nothing.

5. Old books are actually collectible – because they’re printed works of art. Publishers used to care about the quality, style and beauty of the books they produced, because, books were more than a source of profit.

Bonus round: they smell better, look better on a shelf … and have earned the standing of classic, because they’ve already stood the test of time! That explains why so many old books are classics, and most new ones never will be!

Here at Old Time Books, we love old books. Some might call it a sickness, or an incurable disease, but if it is, we don’t want anyone to find a cure! Do you?
