That is truly sad. I've never been there, but just knowing it's there is comforting, that I COULD go there some day if I wanted to.
Much like Hay-on-Wye, aka Booktown, which has nearly 40 bookstores. I have been dealing with one of them, Stella and Rose's, for more than 10 years, filling out, among others, my Arthur Ransome collection and picking up copies for young additions to the extended family. Start a young'un on Arthur Ransome books when they're about 8 and you've got a perpetual source of Christmas and birthday gifts for years to come.
Some day, I promise myself, I will go there. As I have wanted to go to McMurtry's.
Someday. |
