In the Beginning - The Early Days of Religious Beliefs
Early protohumans like Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon buried their dead and cared for the old, their sick and injured. In order to understand the unexplainable or to establish answers to questions such as, "Where does the sun come from and where does it go? What brings rain?" they turned to mysticism or imagined invisible beings. It is safe to assume that they experienced some form of primitive spiritual awareness. It is also not hard to believe that someone had to become the first priest, shaman, spirit guide, or witch doctor to realize the benefit of organizing and exploiting their primitive beliefs. This is the story of such a person.
As the original priest, OG, an elderly Neanderthal, decided to use his tribes beliefs and superstitions as a vehicle to gain honor and power. He convinces his people that he has the answers to their questions and can intercede with the spirits in the tribe's behalf. The undefined beings envisioned by the villagers come to life through Og's imaginative but persuasive teachings. Only through him will the spirits calm the winds, allow the sun to shine and favor good hunts. He finds that his new mission is quite beneficial and begins sowing the seeds of an idea that would eventually evolve into the most powerful persuasive force ever known. Due to his age, he passes on his experience, acquired knowledge and power as the first priest to his children and grand-children and tasks them to continue his legacy.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
