    Wow! I would love this place. I’d probably spend WAY to much money too!

    Oh my goodness! I love bookshops so, so much. And bookshops with this much character!? So neat.

    Very cool post – thank you for the indie bookstore love. 🙂

    Love book stores like this! There’s one in downtown Detroit that is four stories of old-smelling book goodness.

    Nothing like an old used bookstore! So many magical treasures. Just the smell and feeling of being around books makes me happy. Great photos Ciera!
