The listing, THE CORNER STORE" by albert idell 1953 Hardcover with Jacket has ended.
The sundries in Chester’s store could not be listed. They ranged indiscriminately from nylons to affectionate advice. People dropped in as much to chat with the sympathetic owner as in pick up a newspaper or drink a Coke. For the Corner Store was an institution. It was the focus of life for the whole neighborhood as well as for the six Joneses … the gathering place for the small community. And Chester Jones was the friend in need, the father confessor of all his customers.
Life for the Joneses was eventful, filled with excitement, adventure, and romance. Crime, dramatic death, unexpected birth, elopement, robbery all are woven into this compelling novel of family life and of a corner store. Mr. Idell has written with warmth, humor and great honesty of the problems and triumphs of ordinary people and has captured their minds and hearts in the vivid cross section of American Life..
