About Elder's Bookstore
"In early 1930, a recent graduate of Vanderbilt University [or
Lipscomb] opened a small shop on Nashville's Fourth Avenue, where the
L&C Tower would someday stand. It was the beginning of the Great
Depression and Charles Elder was taking a gamble. But, he did know one
thing. He loved history and he loved books. That small shop was the
beginning of Elder's Bookstore, one of the landmarks of Tennessee and
the South. Today, in its 75th year, Elder's Bookstore is the oldest
general bookstore in continuous operation in Nashville. If you have not
visited our store, we invite you to stop in while you are in Nashville
and browse. You may never want to leave our world of books. Charles
Elder was the dean of Nashville booksellers until his retirement at the
age of 93. He started our store in the depths of the Great Depression.
Nationally known as an expert on ephemera and manuscripts, he was also
widely versed in maps and early Tennessee history. He was a winner of
the Frances Neel Cheney Award by the Tennessee Library Association and
was honored by the Tennessee Booksellers Convention in 1990 for his
lifetime of service to the industry. Since his retirement, his son
Randy Elder has become owner and operator of the business. From his
earliest days, Randy Elder has been around books, reading them, and
then helping his father buy and sell them. He started as a partner and
sales manager and is now owner.
He has been responsible for the
store's rise to the status of foremost re-publisher of early Tennessee
and Nashville history books. Under his direction, Elder's has become
one of the premier dealers in 20th century literature - particularly
Southern Literature - in the United States.

"The literacy, intelligence, and sensitivity displayed by the
contributors make this a moving and provocative anthology; an important
boost for those both inside and outside who are carrying on the
struggle against prison repression and institutional torture. One comes
away feeling both anger and hope" -Michael Parenti, author of AGAINST
