This is my *original* Book Hunt video though I did find one created a year earlier that wasn't part of this official book hunt meme. Okay, here are the (very flexible) rules:
1. Go to a place you've never been to before - or at the very least, a place where you've never bought a book before. Oh, I guess that could include even a library you've never checked a book out from before. Like I said, the rules are FLEXIBLE.
2. In a town or city you've never been to before, if you can't immediately come across a book store, ask someone. If the town has no book store, any place selling books will do.
3. Film going, exploring, buying, leaving, whatever makes you happy.
4. Don't forget the big reveal.... buy (or check out) a book and let us know what you got!

This is my first book hunt video... I just got back from a family reunion in Oregon, and stopped by The Dalles on the way home.... where I found an awesome bookstore - the oldest bookstore in the state of Oregon!
The store originally opened in 1870 in a building across the street from where it is now. It was called Nickelsen's back then. There was a fire in 1883 so the bookstore moved across the street to the present location. In 1894, it was flooded. The store was sold to the Weigelt family in 1929 and they owned it for fifty years. In 1981 the Klindt family bought the bookstore, and the child of the original Klindt owners is still there, running the bookstore today.
Klindt's Booksellers - the oldest bookstore in Oregon!
