It's a GREAT independent bookstore, she carries such wonderful books and other stuff, too.. even wonderful socks.

That edition of I Capture the Castle is gorgeous too.Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629286727932554109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-50656721039548206122014-05-09T11:23:17.571-04:002014-05-09T11:23:17.571-04:0052booksorbust - I'm right there with you.

I just wish it was close enough that I could browse there on a Saturday! <br /><br />misfortuneofknowing - They are so rare now! <br /><br />Meg - We have very few too. This bookstore is about 3 hours from where I live. It's always exciting to find one as wonderful as it is though!

We have hardly any bookstores around here -- just a nearby Books-A-Million, which I <i>am</i> happy to have -- and no indies, so I'm always a wee bit jealous seeing them in others' towns. :) Love that copy of <i>I Capture the Castle</i>, also one of my favorites!Meg @ write meg!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15837479897570974834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-67603031370871949932014-05-09T10:19:38.857-04:002014-05-09T10:19:38.857-04:00Hyde Brothers looks like a lovely place!

We have a couple of Barnes and Nobles, but it looks like those are on the verge of disappearing too. My book browsing is largely limited to the library and the Internet.

Guess I know where I'll be going when I get back there! We have crap here in Orlando. It is frustrating.

There are a couple of good ones, but none that make me drool. (did i just reveal too much?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
