Garry E. Hunter, Athens City Law Director in 2005 published "Athens County: The Second Century, 1905-2005 with the help of many others to celebrate the bicentennial of Athens County. The book is 310 pages 9"x12" 800 Limited Edition Copies. (mine is copy 397) 16 chapters. Chapter Two, Atĥens (City) is what may be of interest here. Among other things is a list of all businesses on Court Street with business there in 1940s and what was there in 2005. 63 S.Court, 1940s Logan,s Book Store, 2005 Follet,s Book Store. Interesting note, the basement was The Varsity Inn where Sammy Kay got his start.
I remember walking by Logan's in 1950 on way to Chubb Library when I was in high school and buying college books in 1953.
Very interesting. Given that the location is identical, this seems to refute what bobcatgirl1982 posted, that Follet's opened it as a brand new store in 1952, and that it was not an acquisition of an existing "Logan's Book Store".
Perhaps I need to rescind my admission of error here. When I read bobcatgirl1982's post, it looked like she had facts and all I had was my very fallible memory. Perhaps, I don't need those new memory modules I ordered from amazon after all! :-)
