I've been going to this bookstore for decades (it used to be across the street). I grew up not too far from this location and it was always a great time when my friends and I would head to Coventry and pour over all the used books and records (yes, that's how long ago I used to go here). I'm not sure how many books I bought over the years, but most visits resulted in some kind of purchase. Even though I live across the country, I still return whenever I visit. I was recently back during the holidays and reminded how much I loved this bookstore. As I browsed, I couldn't believe how many memories flooded back as I saw old book titles I never seem to see anywhere else but here.
The science fiction / fantasy section has its own floor in the loft including tables where one can sit and read if they like. The woman whom I presume owns the store is incredibly nice and hospitable. Suffice to say, I love this bookstore and while I know all good things must eventually come to an end, I hope Mac's Backs finds a way to go on forever.
