Found a used bookstore in Portland with a cat section that made me ditch Amazon forever

I was browsing Powell's last weekend and stumbled on this random shelf in the back labeled 'Feline Fine Arts.' They had like 30 cat coffee table books from the 70s and 80s for $5 each. One called 'Cats in Repose' has these hilarious black and white photos of fat cats sleeping on vintage furniture. The binding is falling apart on some but honestly that's part of the charm. I've been ordering these online for $30 plus shipping and they always show up with bent corners. Has anyone else found a hidden gem section at a local shop or am I just late to this?

Those cat photos from the 70s sound amazing, did you find any with cats in bellbottoms?

@the_wesley i actually read an article last week about a guy who dressed his cat in full 70s outfits and took photos with a vintage polaroid. the bellbottoms thing got me thinking about those wide leg jeans people wore back then. cats probably hated it just as much as they hate any clothes. still would be funny to see a tabby with a tiny afro wig and some flared pants though. kind of makes me wonder if anyone tried putting sunglasses on their cat too.
