From top executive to used magazine salesman
Ken Gjemre, once a senior vice president in a jewelry firm, now runs a large used books and magazines shop. He converted to recycling ethics after years in retail waste, buying only from individuals and paying 10 percent of face value for current magazines. The store features a Life Magazines collection, National Geographics crates, and rare items like Nixon Six Crises and a Playboy first issue.
