Jules Goldman Books and Art is inviting customers to explore its 9,000-square-foot space before the shop closes after 15 years.
Jules Goldman of Jules Goldman Books and Art is having an estate sale of items he's collected throughout the years at his Old City shop.As I wandered the narrow aisles carved between the teetering piles of unusual and everyday objects at the Jules Goldman Books and Art estate sale in Old City last weekend, I couldn’t help but feel like an explorer in someone else’s house, or in their head.
Somehow it’s both vast and cluttered, both cavernous and full, both here and really out there. Exploring the building, which had only been open on the first floor before the estate sale, was just as exciting as exploring what was within., Jules Goldman, the eponymous owner of the store, has amassed all manner of all things. Sure, there are thousands of books and pieces of art, as the name implies, but there’s also so much more.
Goldman insisted nothing in the store be changed prior to the sale and that nothing be marked with a price tag, so all sales had to go through him, Odell said. Customers were encouraged to sign up in advance for one of the 75 time slots last weekend . Those who didn’t have a time slot — like me and my husband — had to show up in person and put their name on a waiting list. It took us 90 minutes just to get in the door.We used a flashlight to look in dark corners and piles of boxes and I was incredibly thankful for the rubber gloves I wore once we got outside and I saw mine had turned black from the dust.
