Summary: You can soak in the glory of the printed page.
There are book stores...and there are BOOK STORES.
The moment I walked inside Melody's I could feel the close hug of thousands of books that just wanted me to take my fingers and slowly caress each page...the feel the softness of their papery treasures...to lick my finger and then slowly turn....the....page........
I like reading. Possibly too much.
Melody's has more books than you would expect when you look from the outside. The variety of genres will more than likely have anyone who is serious reader walking out with something that fits their niche.
A big plus was that many times they had multiple copies of books from popular authors. It's been frustrating some times for me to go into a used bookstore and only see 1-2 books from a big time author because the owners don't want to "overstock" them.
Bottom line: Plan for more time than you would expect for this packed full bookstore of joy. read more
