Glad it's still in business! Looks like a neat little store.
ReplyDeleteHi Alex!
DeleteDefinitely worth a visit - or two. The locals love it, and tourists keep coming back.
Hi Diedre - I'm loving reading about these ... a wonderful selection ... and all would be fun to visit. All the best - Hilary
ReplyDeleteHi Hilary!
DeleteAw, thanks. I can hardly compare to the tours you share with us. But I try ;-)
Howdy, dIEDRE! ~
ReplyDeleteHow've ya been?
I've been mostly absent from the Blogosphere, but I'm trying to catch up a bit right now.
I really like your A To Z theme -- bookstores and libraries -- what a neat idea, and for someone like you, it's a natural!
A few blog bits back you posted the following quote which I agree with 100% :
“Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary”
~ Jim Rohn
Sadly, most bookstores have gone the way of the Stegosaurus and the Triceratops. But, as I'm sure you have, I used to get lost in them for hours at a time.
I hope you're having a terrific weekend, my friend!

Good to see you, Stephen T!
DeleteBookstores, especially small Indy-owned shops are some of my favorite haunts, as it were. I love rare finds and free inspiration ;-)
Hope you're having a favorable April!
