Walking in you are immediately greeted with that distinct smell of old words on yellowed pages. There are stacks and stacks of books all over the place! The building is literally bursting at its seams with books. I found some that I had as a child, I found ones that I'm going to trade in some of my used soft-covers for. This is a bibliophile's Walt Disney World!
The clerk was the nicest lady, very helpful and cheerful. I wonder what her story is...
Cover of The Shadow of the WindThere is a book in there that was calling for me...I'll be sure to go back and save it!
I lived in crest hill and passed those stores all the time!
