To the left of the Purple Onion used to be the used academic book store of Melvin McCosh, the BEST of the best in Minneapolis back in the early 1960s... he moved out to a suburb at some later date, and I don't even see a building there at all any more.... how times change.... It was at McCosh's that I bought "Odi et Amo" by U of M Classics Professor Roy Arthur Swanson... who taught a PoliSci course for Mulfred Sibley one term, and was extremely good.....

I recently toured Mr. Melvin McCosh's former suburban lake home, he is known to be very ill and living with his daughter.
His home was a 42 room mansion,each room filled with books floor to ceiling, once used as a retirement community for the elderly, before social securitie's use. Melvin bought it and lived there for many, many, years.
It is scheduled to be raised anyday now. As U of M alumni, I know the community will miss Mr. McCosh.
