A fabulous labyrinth of bookish treasures. I esp. like the travel section.

It feels like one day the sheer weight of all the books will crash through every floor, but until then I will enjoy browsing endlessly and leave in a fugue state. Best place to find big old art books. Don't know what happened to the cat, but there was one years ago.

“Love this bookstore, it reminds me of Shakespeare and company in Paris with the secret winding shelves, shop local here and not at b&n across the street!”
