This week, Lonn Taylor talks about one of his great pleasures in life -- browsing in used bookstores. His father also loved to go to used bookstores and took Lonn with him for the first time when he was five. The first used book store Lonn remembers going to is Lowdermilk in Washington D.C. when he went with his father in 1945.
