I was strolling around my neighborhood today and finally stumbled into Elliot Bay Book Store. In a world where Kindles and paperbacks coexist, it is nice to be reminded of the satisfaction that comes from turning the page of something delightfully tangible. (I mean, look at this picture. These are short, hand written reviews of each book. How amazing!)
Shoot me if bookstores like this ever go extinct.
The first “good” bookstore I’ve been to was Bailey Coy over on Broadway, which also featured reviews of the books. Sadly, Bailey Coy is now extinct.
Yes, I do remember Bailey Coy. RIP indeed, but thankfully Elliot is now on the hill!
