i dont know which part of the first exposure made this feel most sneaky to me. was it that i was walking down into some shady looking store? was it the purple neon glow that emanated from the ghostly light silhouetting the fenced door? or perhaps the stark operating hours of 12 to 12 that intrigued me the most.
yet inside this book lovers den is a clean, cozy, shop filled with fresh new and mildly used books that seem to disappear in a gridlock of aisleways, shelves and back rooms filled to the brim and beaming with colour.
after combing the shelves of another used book shop, on a whim i slithered down here and straight away was lead to a tome of five in one dashiell hammett books. more over, i spotted the watchmen in full display for half price.
and after a few giggles with the guy at the front (perhaps the owner) i was given a book for free!! (lucky day.)
id come back here again in a second for the owners knowledge, for the seeming secrecy of it, for its variety of old and new and because its not bustling.
