GREENFIELD, Wis. (June 1, 2007)— You never know what treasure you’ll find in a Half Price Books store and to emphasize that point, the company has gathered some of its more interesting finds into a touring road show. The exhibit kicks off 9 a.m., June 14 at the newly renovated Half Price Books store located at 5032 S. 74th, in Greenfield, Wis.

A selection of significant books and magazines will be on display until July 16. After leaving the Greenfield location, the books will travel across the country to other Half Price Books locations for display.

Items include:

–A signed first edition copy of "Stride Toward Freedom" by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
–A signed first edition copy of "Their Finest Hour" by Winston Churchill
–A signed copy of "Profiles in Courage" by John F. Kennedy. Tucked into the book is an envelope on which Kennedy wrote: "At the time of this writing, I am just finishing my Inaugural — will call when done — Jack."
–A collection of papers titled "Psychiatric and Psychological Examinations of Jack Ruby"
–A signed first edition copy of "Sources of Strength" by Jimmy Carter
–A signed first edition copy of "Barbara Bush: A Memoir" by Barbara Bush

"Our stores are unique in that we offer a different inventory than other major retail bookstores because our customers sell directly to us. Many items simply aren’t available in other bookstores," said Sharon Anderson Wright, CEO of Half Price Books

The newly renovated store occupies nearly 9,000 square feet. The store hours are Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m
