For as many times I have been to Park Road Shopping Center, I don't think I ever came inside Park Road Books. I'm glad I took a stroll inside this weekend. I love book stores, I love it even more when it's local and not big box (which are all dying down anyhow).
Before you enter the store, there're carts of used books on sale (think $4 for a hardback) on the sidewalk. At the entrance they post upcoming author/book signing events (unfortunately they tend to be mid-day on weekdays when most are at work).
Once entered, the first few shelves have feature books (ex. they're offering a discount on the 1st shelf of NY Times Bestsellers). There is a small sitting area as well in the middle toward the back.
It was a quick visit. I didn't get to browse long, but I was there long enough to see 2 new books I want to read.
Stop by, buy a book, support a local bookstore!
