My Kind of Place
I love independent bookstores. Each has its individual charm. Yesterday in downtown Chatham, I visited a particularly charming bookstore, Shadetree Books.
Shadetree has rare books, old books, new books, books about Pittsylvania County, and books by local authors.
. . . a little something for everybody. (Yeah, I bought a book.)
In the back of the store, owner (and author) Henry Hurt has his own private library. It's huge! Here's a picture of part of it:
Is that cool, or what?

As usual, wish I had been there! Thanks for giving me ideas on where to visit for a great chance at a good buy!
Ahhh, this brings back happy memories! My Daddy owned a bookstore for twenty years before retiring in 2003. The roof leaked, we had uneven floors, and we had several groundhogs and squirrels visit, but I loved it. Our UPS man was as good as Santa Claus, and I'd get excited when a "new releases shipment" came in. There's nothing like the feel and smell of a fresh new book!
