That Special Bookstore

Light On Light Through · Jul 28, 2007

I guess I do most of my book shopping online these days...

But I was thinking the other day about the best bookstore I have ever been in.... I was reading an old, weathered 1880s copy of Plato's Republic - no, not just for enjoyment (though it is a fascinating book), but I needed it for a section I'm writing in the sequel to The Plot to Save Socrates (ok, that's fun, too). But leafing through that faded book got me to thinking about where I'd acquired it. That shop was my favorite book store of all time...

Now, there are lots of contenders. Foyle's in London, science fiction and mystery…
