Jazz First Books image Ted Hodgetts of JazzFirst Books in Millbrook, Ontario, Canada, contacted me recently about the new site for his online bookstore. JazzFirst carries used, first edition books and ephemera with a specialty in jazz and blues. While I’m not a collector of anything but the music (heck, I haven’t even been able to get to read all the books I already own on jazz-related subjects), I thought I’d pass the link along to you since I know some of you have an "unhealthy" obsession with all things jazz and this may be another place you can get your fix.

Looks like Ted has a pretty up-front policies about his books, their provenance, the shipping costs, and how he does business.  Seems to be a stand-up operation, but let me know if you have any issues with JazzFirst and I’ll remove the links.
