Reed Books/The Museum of Fond Memories owned by Jim Reed, has over 35,000 titles in its inventory, all of which are catalogued and searchable via the internet. The Museum of Fond Memories also contains thousands of trinkets, postcards, toys, photographs, record albums, pamphlets, flyers, artifacts, and other ephemera.

The store, which currently occupies a 5,000 square foot 2nd floor space at 107 20th Street South downtown, is moving to a new ground-floor 3,500 square foot location in the O'Neill Building at 2021 3rd Avenue North by March 1. The move was made necessary by redevelopment plans proposed by Corporate Realty Development for the block housing his store as well as Scott's Koneys.

Reed Books first opened in Reed's Southside house, then to the Wooster Lofts on 1st Avenue North before moving to its present location in the late 1990s.
