Elm Street Books has gone E-Commerce!

Hi All,

Well, it has taken Elm Street Books a little while to get up and running as an e-commerce site, but we are officially there.
You no longer have to wake up at 2AM to order books, music, e-books or DVDs from Amazon... now if you want to do that just go to the Elm Street Books website, click on the BUY NOW link and away you go. You can order all night long and support an independent bookstore.
How totally great is that?
Now you get you middle of the night fix and keep that brick and mortar shop in biz! YESSSSS!!

We love to see you in the store, but when that doesn't work for you...
visit the virtual Elm Street Books....

We'll have the espresso brewing.
Ciao
See you at 3AM

Brian Castner served three tours of duty in the Middle East, two of them in Iraq as the head of an Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit. Whenever IEDs were discovered, he and his men would lead the way in either disarming the deadly devices or searching through rubble and remains for clues to the bomb-makers’ identities. And when robots and other remote means failed, one technician would suit up and take the Long Walk to disarm the bomb by hand. This lethal game of cat and mouse was, and continues to be, the real war within America’s wars in the Middle East. When Brian returned stateside to his wife and family, he entered an equally inexorable struggle against the enemy within, which he comes to call the “Crazy.”

This thrilling, heartbreaking, stunningly honest book alternates between two harrowing realities: the terror, excitement, and camaraderie of combat, and the lonely battle against the unshakeable fear, anxiety, and survivor guilt that he—like so many veterans—carries inside.

Castner, a graduate of Marquette University with an electrical engineering degree, served three tours in the Middle East as an officer of the U.S. Air Force—two of them leading an EOD unit in Iraq. In 2006, he received a Bronze Star for his service. Upon returning to the United States, he consulted as an independent civilian contractor, training military EOD units on tactical bomb-disposal procedures prior to their deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan. He lives near Buffalo, New York, with his wife and children.
