<p>[QUOTE="silverthwait, post: 18090, member: 103"]Oops. I always do this. Stevenson's fellow is "Leerie." My once-upon-a-time, absolutely favorite bookshop was Leary's in Philadelphia. One could get great bargains there by standing in the rain out on the cobblestones, trying to keep under the inadequate awnings. The inside of the store smelled heavenly to me, and they had serial books there, hardbound, for about 35 cents. Tom Swift, Grace Harlow, Marjorie Dean, the Horatio Alger books, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>One of my favorite purchases there was Christopher Moreley's, Tje Haunted Bookshop. It had a red leatherette cover, and was just the right size to hold in one's hand. oddly, the author was a Philadelphian, but his book takes place in Brooklyn, NY.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
