Kay's Books

 A brief article on Rachael Kowan, owner of Kay's Books, 620 Prospect Avenue. I bought a number of books here over the years. The second floor of this store was filled with thousands of back number magazines. I once found a copy of Fortune on the Penn Central bankruptcy for 50¢ in there. Kay could be quite unpleasant, often telling you about the bargain you're getting. I knew a couple people that worked for her, neither lasted long, she could be quite abusive to employees. 

From the Plain Dealer, January 8, 1978.
