| - I LOVE Book Gallery! The only problem is, hubby doesn't. That's because this sweet store sucks uip so much of my money. Once they get to know you, they will actually contact you to dangle items like first editions, special editions, etc. etc. in front of your big round eyes. They are pretty protective of their books, but that's because they have already invested big bucks in them. One day though, the owner actually let me peer into a genuine slip-cased first edition of Dune, signed by Frank Herbert! I was ready to sign over my first-born on the spot. The only thing that kept that beautiful book off my shelf was the afore-mentioned husband, who despite the fact that we are eternal soulmates who if ever we found ourselves homeless and living out of a shopping cart, our most rare antique radio would be riding in said cart, is for all intents and purposes, frugal. A cheapskate. A man who does not appreciate his wife coming home with a $8,000 book! sigh. Other than that, Book Gallery is my favorite Phoenix book store of all time
