From writers James Dickey to Lewis Grizzard, Everyman Books offers variety in Southern fiction, nonfiction and regional-interest publications.
Other genres include Black History, American History, environment, children's books, religion and classics. If you like books, it's a fun place to look around, and if you are looking for a rare book, the proprietor just might have it!
Hey, y'all. I'm still at Everyman Books, and I might just stay there for the rest of the week!
Looking for something old, comforting, eclectic or colorful? Check out this corner! The cobalt-blue bottle tree will chase away the "haints" while the quilts lend cozy comfort. Then, exercise your mind with a game of chess!
Can you express yourself in words...through song, poetry, reading a story or sharing your thoughts?
Then, you might enjoy Open Mic Night at Everyman Books on the first Friday evening of each month. Often, there are surprise musicians, and some of them might be your neighbors and friends!
Everyman Books on Martin Luther King Jr. Street offers a lot more merchandise than books, although books alone are enough to get my attention. There's a couple of old quilts like Great-Grandma used to make and plenty of beads and baubles, musical instruments, bric-a-brac and area travel information. The owner teaches a few music lessons on the side, and the place is becoming known for its Open Mic Nights once a month. That's where you, yes YOU, can sing your songs, play your music or recite your poetry and prose. Tonight, however, features a mini-concert with two Alabama musicians. Joe Kirkwood, who has written songs about Old Cahawba, bridges, the Alabama River and growing up in Birmingham, is the featured performer. Local songwriter Destiny Brown opens the show. Cost is only $5. Oh yes, the concert begins at 7:30 p.m.
Here's a peek inside The Tin Man's art studio next to Everyman Books. What do you suppose these recycled parts could be? My best guess is a raptor. The gallery is located on Martin Luther King Jr. Street in the same building as the bookstore and next to Holley's Farm and Garden Center...all at the foot of Water Avenue.
Not far from the Old Depot Museum, Everyman Books offers checkerboard tables on its front porch. Bring your checkers and play awhile, or go inside and browse hundreds of interesting books and novelty collections. The proprietor has everything from old stoves and quilts to jewelry, handbags and area travel information. Also in the building, Charlie "The Tin Man" Lucas might be found working in his art and sculpture studio. Then, on the second Friday every month, participate in "Open Mic" Night. Readyour poetry or sing and play your song. Everyone is welcome!Everyman Books is located on Martin Luther King Jr. Street next door to Holley's Farm and Garden Center.
The folk art sculptures of TheTin Man (Charlie Lucas) can be found all over Selma. Guest photographer Lucy Battle, formerly of Selma, found these at Everyman Bookstore on Martin Luther King Street. I'm trying to figure out what the different scrap materials are. Of course, the hair is made of barbed wire, but do I see pieces of vinyl siding? Since I haven't checked out this bookstore yet, it is now on my list!
