An SF bookstore from the 1950s (or earlier) to the 60s with an address in Verona, PA (near Pittsburgh.) It seems to have been exclusively mail-order and later reports (e.g., https://www.papergreat.com/2017/01/some-1965-amazing-stories-ads-were-too.html) told of it advertising quality books and a good price and delivering garbage, frequently not even the same titles. The owner was Robert Hartley Michael (1912-73) who was federally indicted in March 1964 for 15 acts of mail fraud between 9/62 and 1/64, and convicted in June 1964.
It seems to have been associated with the Werewolf Lending Library.
