The Students Book Corporation (Bookie) was erected in 1923 at a cost of $29,185. Financed by the Associated Students, the original wood framed building with exterior brick stood in the site of the present Bookie. In addition to textbooks, the Bookie also contained the campus coffee shop. Inside a long soda fountain with levers provided students with fountain drinks, ice cream, coffee; and a dozed high-backed booths places to sit. In 1954, the original structure was razed and a new Bookie was build for $348,600, again financed by the Associated Students.plain2018-09-12T18:40:00+00:00Is found in PC 4, WSU Historic Photographs Subject File http://libraries.wsu.edu/masc/finders/pc4.htm at Washington State University Libraries' Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC) http://libraries.wsu.edu/mascpc004b09-64n88-177; pc149b5n88-177ImageCampus buildings; Bookie; Students--Washington (State)--Pullman; Interiors--Washington (State)--Pullman1940ark:/80444/xv90631Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections, Washington State University Libraries: http://libraries.wsu.edu/mascUnited States--Washington (State)--Whitman County--PullmanNo known copyright.
