It's been a minute, so we figured we'd share a few of the items we have for sale at Vintage Design Mart (in Chicago, on Irving just west of Western).

The store does not ship, but you have the option of ordering online for pickup or just stopping in to browse -- the store is open 11-7 Monday through Saturday, 11-5 on Sunday.

First, are you excited that the Cubs are having a good year? Try "Hoodoo" from a few excellent Chicago sportswriters, published a few years before the World Series, and autographed not only by the authors, but by Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks

For something COMPLETELY different, how about a book from 1977 called "The Gay Tapes", featuring a psychiatrist conducting candid interviews with three men about their sexuality.

For the lover of fun little vintage books, we offer "The Dumpy Pocket Book of Cars and Commercial Vehicles" - a quite small book from 1960 with great mid-century vehicles.
