Cruising around on the University Book Store’s site the other day, we found the online home for one of our favorite pieces of bookstore merch from the last few years, the USED BUT NEAR FINE T-shirt (here for women’s, here for men’s). Remember? Longtime buyer Nick DiMartino wore it in this pic with his interview here last year. The shirt was the brainchild of used book slinger Brad Craft, who we sometimes refer to as Our Favorite Curmudgeonly Bookseller. It features the store’s name and logo on the back, along with a large yellow dot, which is what you’ll find on the spines of the store’s used books. We’re hoping for more used condition T’s from Craft & Co in 2012. Very Good? Ex-Library? Foxed?
