What a stunning place. If you are ever in the UK try Hay on Wye, that really is the second hand bookstore capital of the world.

Now that sounds like a good one…if I ever get to cross the Pond. Thanks for the visit.

OH second hand books. How many times have read one of them to avoid having to speak to my wife for a few hours! If only I was american, or had the power of transedential travel.

Guru, I am typing slowly so that you understand (as I read in your blog that you think you have to type slowly for Americans). Notice that “American” is capitalized, you stinker! If you ever come to Texas, I’d be proud to help you find a book to help you avoid conversations.

It IS paradise. I just wish they had more seating, they might never get me to leave!

Looks like a wonderful store! If you are ever in the Pacific Northwest (Portland, Oregon to be exact) then make sure you get to Powell’s bookstore in downtown (www.powells.com). It’s a full city block of new and used books. It started in one building on the block and expanded. Now it’s multi-level with stairs up or down to the next building. It is handicap accessible, barely. They shelve the new and used books together so you can decide if you want a new one or a used one. (If there are several used ones look through to find the one with the best price.)

When my husband and I went on our honeymoon we stopped there and each bought a big grocery bag full of books to take with us.

Now, it’s likely that I would get to Portland, because my oldest stepson lives there! I can hardly wait to give that one a shot. Thanks for the tip!

Now that is my dream come true. I would love to browse in a bookstore like that all day...hope they have chairs! I have more books in my home than the local library which is one small room 12 x 12. I love old bookshops. You are so very lucky. Matty's last blog post..SOMETIMES LIFE JUST SUCKS.....
