A gilrlfriend and I decided to get away from Dallas for a quick overnighter at the last minute, and being a McMurtry fan, and the fact that Archer City is a 2-hour drive from Dallas, decided to head north.

We went to Archer City, Texas to see the ultimate in book stores. Larry McMurtry, author of Lonesome Dove, Terms of Endearment, the Last Picture Show and many more, has purchased four buildings in Archer City and has turned them into “Booked Up,” a fantastic collection of used books covering every subject possible. It is truly a Mecca for any... More
