Aviary Books just happened to be near the New Bedford Whaling Museum and we couldn’t help but go in to see what it was all about. It was a small but very well organized and very niche-friendly store. Definitely unique! These were all such delightfully weird books. Lots of reference books but also just odd things – like that graphic novel about the troubled high school life of Jeffrey Dahmer.

I especially loved all the art books. One of them had a very large photo of a creepy ventriloquist dummy on it. After my own heart. Another was a collage book using the front page of the newspaper every day for a year. That’s the sort of weird project I can get behind. Sadly I was a little strapped for cash on this day, after spending money to get tickets to the Whaling Museum but if I wasn’t something would have come home with me. I loved this place.
