Page "Fred Rosenstock" Paragraph 2

Fred had been interested in books from his youth, and by the time he was in Washington was a collector haunting the book shops and building a small collection.

In Denver he continued collecting and in 1922 opened his first bookstore, the Denver Book Shop, an antiquarian book store.

It was not a success.

Later after marrying Frances Goodman in 1928 he purchased an existing book store in a good location on 15th Street in Denver and renamed it the Bargain Book Store.

He continued to collect and sell rare books but the main business of the Bargain Book Store was selling school textbooks.

This line got the business through the great depression.

The store burned in 1948 and was rebuilt.
