Ship to Shore Coffee, Books + Records: Lorain, Ohio

Strong contender for my favorite bookshop in NE Ohio; a thoughtful, tight edit of new and used books plus an alluring movie night. It's also located in Toni Morrison's and Jason Molina's home town, and it is the only bookstore I know of that features the control panel for a bascule bridge. Picked up Robert Calasso's THE MARRIAGE OF CADMUS AND HARMONY, Patrick Langley's THE VARIATIONS, and Nancy Lemann's LIVES OF THE SAINTS (have been tearing through NL's work this month and now must buy all the books I have read via the library).
