    John "Boomer" Leighty is a writer/editor, dog lover, and beachcomber who is selling a unique collection of signed first edition books, mostly from the 1970s and early 80s when he interviewed a wide range of authors as a national features writer for UPI news. In addition, there are first printings, hard-to-find titles, vintage and rare books regularly being added to his popular Boomerbeat_Bookshelf store. As a journalist in San Francisco's psychedelic days, John also accumulated numerous nostalgic items that are now for sale, many tied to news events - such as a "Cable Cars Are Back," photo and pamphlet heralding the system's renovation; ticket stub & news headline about the World Series halted by the devastating 1979 earthquake, and a genuine 1969 Summer of Love poster. Enjoy browsing through this treasure trove of great books and memorabilia - if you find something you love, make an offer! JohnsRareBooksandCollectibles is listing great deals on boomer-era items weekly!
