I wish The Writer's Block had been around during the Vegas trips of my teenage and college years. Downtown has changed in such a nice way, and an indie bookstore is a fantastic development.
It's small, but crammed full of new and interesting books. I caught eye of many of the latest in literary fiction, cool art books, and just all sorts of excellent selections. For the nerds out there, they even had a copy of Hyrule Historia for sale! And I may have felt a little swell of pride to see that several of the items on display I've purchased for MPOW back in Oklahoma--whoever purchases for The Writer's Block clearly has the same taste! ;)
Be sure to peruse all the sections--there's something for everyone here. I found the store to be well-organized and easy to navigate, something that I find frustrating about the big box bookstores. The clerks were also friendly and helpful without being too overbearing / breathing down your neck.
I know I'm gonna come back in future trips to come. Heck, I'm even thinking of coming back before I jet back to OK next week!
