Aged and varied volumes of all genres stacked on shelves of a 50 foot high ceiling. A venerable 82 year old institution sheltering the vestiges of an enlightened, intellectual, book centered society, long-lost in a world where adults have been replaced by 45 year old video game addicts on skateboards and vocal-fried upspeakers announcing the inane details of their permanently adolescent lives in their phones as they walk in public with zero awareness of what it means to have manners.

Palo Alto is lucky to have such an impressive bookstore for vintage as well as newer books. I am intrigued by the rare and precious collections here. The price is fair, to be honest, but still a little too expensive for me.

This local bookstore is amazing. It’s two stories and has a wide selection.
