Interior of ‘‘The Study’
Unique book shop in Marietta
“The Study,’’ a used book
store on West Front Street
in Marietta, is exactly what
its name denotes: a study.
It occupies the two front
rooms of owner Joyce
Reimherr Perry’s house,
and is the place where she
pursues her favorite activ-
ities of reading and writing.
Even on weekdays, when
the store is closed, Joyce is
often in The Study, wielding
a pen or devouring a book.
Her chief reason for
opening the store in Decem-
ber of 1979, she says, was
that she wanted to turn her
home into ‘‘a very comfort-
able library.”
Stocking the shelves was
easy; she already owned a
big collection of books.
(Even today, only a fraction
of her collection is on
display for the buying
public. Her attic is heaped
with books. Her ‘personal
collection’’ occupies a sub-
stantial area of the second
floor).
This collection is con-
tinually being enlarged and
improved by Joyce’s mother
and other book-lovers, who
bring salable books to the
store on consignment.

English teacher, travels to
bookstores the length of the
East Coast, searching for
suitable volumes for «+ her
daughter’s store, and hav-
ing a fine time in the
process.
The Study contains exten-
sive collections of old
children’s books, biography,
and fiction: so if you're
looking for a book in one of
those categories, you might
want to drop by the store
some Sunday afternoon.
Joyce is actively collecting
books on Marietta, rivers,
small towns, trains, historic
architecture, writing, litera-
ture, and politics. Anyone
who owns a book fitting: into
one of these categories, who
would like to sell the book,
might also profitably visit
the store.
““This place is mainly for
fun,’’ says Joyce, who earns
her bread as a salesi::an for
a printing trade service
company. ‘‘I enjoy meeting
the customers, and I enjoy
the books.”
Making money is a
secondary concern; in fact,
after showing off two of her
most valuable old books, she
informs a potential customer
that those particular tomes
are not for sale, not at any
price.
The Study is open Satur-
day 10 to 6, Sunday noon to
6, and evenings by chance.

LACI honors
j family farms
and farmers
Several area farmers were
honored last Thursday even-
ing at the 1980 Agriculture-
Industry Banquet sponsored
by the Lancaster Association
of Commerce and Industry.
The awards were given to
families who worked a
particular farm for at least
100 years.
Irwin and Grace Engle,
RD1 Marietta, have 110
acres of the original 203-
acre farm operated by Jacob
Engle in 1802. The Engles
grow hay and corn and raise
114 dairy cows and 212
heifers.
Although many new
structures have been added
to the farm, all of the old
buildings remain intact.- The
farm may continue in the
Engle family for an eighth
generation, for Engle’s
seven-year-old daughter
loves to work with the
livestock.
Samuel B. Nissley began
farming south of Mount Joy
in 1822, and now, seven
generations later, part of the
farm is still operated by his
descendant, Gerald N. Erb |
and his wife Judith.
Erb operates a -100-.
Holstein dairy and works 86 J
acres of the original farm. ;
Erb, who has two children,
is not optimistic that the
farm will continue in the
same family for many more
generations. He sites the
high cost of maintaining a WNationwide Mutual Insurance Company

farm operation as the reason
for his point of view.
