What better reason to drive 100 miles (each way) with a friend on a frigidly cold Saturday afternoon (though a brightly sunny one) than to visit a book store? An eccentric bookstore that sprawls over many floors through mazes of aisles and varied shelves filled with a variety of subjects.
I was last there over a decade ago and the place was unchanged. A good cup of coffee to go purchased at the place next door and we were ready for the multi-leveled sojourn.
As chain bookstores struggle to keep afloat and electronic books continue their rapid ascension....visiting independently-owned bookstores that value the experience of owning and reading the real thing becomes an increasingly precious thing to do.
