This gorgeous bookstore is in Dexter, MI, just north of Ann Arbor. We always go to Dexter in the fall for their wonderful local cider mill. Since this was a rainy Saturday, we took our cider and donuts to the village green and ate under the roof of the center green gazebo. When done, we went to two favorite shops of our host family. This bookstore certainly was fun. Their selections were both popular and eclectic. My husband found a perfect book in his field so new, he had not read it. I found some quirky gifts for family for the holidays. My granddaughter saw more than she could carry or need and started to read one, but we had to pry her away to get on our way home.
The owner was busy with phone call requests but she never ignored us. She was covering for an absent staff member. When she was between calls, we commiserated on running a bookstore alone on a Saturday as I had done that at a job I had in my first years out of college. I appreciated her balance of help and service. Next time in Dexter, I intend to go back. In these times of online ordering for title shopping, it's still a necessity to have a bookstore to browse for something new. read more
