'Pop' Goes Book Country

Category: Mon Valley Miscellany || By Jason Togyer

Briefly Noted: Pop City profiles Book Country Clearing House, the remaindered-book wholesaler located on Walnut Street in Christy Park at the old Potter-McCune Co. warehouse. (The Almanac last wrote about Book Country back in September 2004.)



According to John Altdorfer's feature, Book Country now has almost 100 employees and has grown by "nearly 100 percent" every year since being purchased by Richard and Sandy Roberts.



(Tube City hard-hat tip: Several alert readers.)



You can read more about Roberts in this trade industry article. (Book Country's own website appears to be down.)
