They keep it…read moreclean and somehow they keep that fresh book smell in the air because it hit you as soon as you walk into the door. I went there just to browse with my daughter and see if there was anything that caught my eye, we had a nice time doing that the store was clean, and the staff really were in the zone helping people who actually have questions, but they were always present and always moving about so I did feel that if I needed anything, someone was immediately available for me to ask. This is my go to Barnes & Noble because the newest one Tequesta is kind of far but if you have the opportunity check that one out. The layout is totally different and it's a little bit brighter and the staff is a bit more interactive I think because of the newness. Barnes & Noble always has sales. They had plenty of books that were 30% off and buy one get one. And if you become a member, there's a lot of Parks for that too. I think you get 10 or 20% off every purchase. I get mine from being a teacher. I'm sure they have other discount discounts for people who work in other areas. All in all, I appreciate mainly that when I'm there I can use a Barnes & Noble gift card in the coffee shop as well as to purchase books I included photos of some of my favorites attached to this review. If you want recommendations, let me know.. Enjoy! Another review from the hungry poet, straight no chaser! -Lizz

I needed a hardcover copy of a major book about D-Day, Sand and Steel, by Peter Caddick-Adams…read more Found Liberty Book Store via Abe Books. The price was reasonable. Because we have been having snowy and rainy weather at this time of the year, I used the Abe feature to ask the bookstore owner to be especially careful wrapping the book, to avoid water damage. He wrote back promptly and said he would. The book arrived with lots of protection against moisture and lots of padding. The latter is important because modern books have very poor bindings generally. During D-Day, the Allies designed a system of rubber skirting to allow Sherman tanks to float and be launched out from the beach. The design had a mixed record with many tanks sinking or floundering. If the owner of Liberty Book Store was alive in 1944 and was asked to use his waterproofing talent on the tanks, more would have come ashore and the Allies would have been in Berlin before the Red Army. The online order invoice showed that the owner would ship via media mail. But the book came much sooner - - almost as fast a Priority Mail shipment! This was a very positive experience and I will contact this store first when I am seeking other books.

In 1942 the US Army established the top secret Camp Murphy in what is now Jonathan Dickinson State…read morePark. I enjoy learning about the WWII history of South Florida so it was very interesting to find this historical sign across from the parking lot at the base of Hobe Mountain Tower. The bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, Dec. 7, 1941 launched the United States into WWII. The Army Signal Corps founded in 1860, had been experimenting since the 1930's with a new technology called radar. The Signal Corps School in Fort Monmouth, N.J. was the main radar training school in the 20's and 30's but with the start of the war the government wanted to set up radar training in a place with better year round climate like South Florida. That was how Camp Murphy became the base of operations for Southern Signal Corps School during World War II. The vast land and vegetation were also perfect for camouflaging their operations. Camp Murphy was named in honor of Col. William Herbert Murphy, a pioneer in the development of radio beams and equipment for military aircraft. He was shot down by the Japanese Feb. 3, 1942, over the Indonesian Islands in the Pacific Ocean where he was killed in action. Camp Murphy covered 11,364 acres and housed 854 officers and 5,752 enlisted men. The Signal Corps School in Martin County was the first of its kind to be built in the United States. The first building built at the new camp was the Area Engineer Office. The camp was a complete city with close to 1,000 buildings that included a bank, post office, telegraph, movie theatre, bowling alley, bank, two churches, recreation halls, mess halls, library, lecture halls, gas station, lookout tower and a telephone system. In 1944. Camp Murphy was decommissioned and used for migrant housing during the fall and winter of 1945. In 1948 buildings were torn down although you can still see some remains in the park today. On June 9, 1947, the property was transferred from the US government to the State of Florida for a State Park and in 1950 Jonathan Dickinson State Park opened to the public. Marker F-624 was installed by the Friends of Jonathan Dickinson State Park and The Florida Department of State in 2008. Behind the marker is a display with more information about the camp and pictures. At the time this camp was in operation very little would have known about it outside of the military personnel stationed here. Not even the surrounding community would have known what was going on. It's secrecy was key to its success. It is only now that we can recognize this important piece of military history in our midst and appreciate all of the soldiers who worked here to win the war.
