If you could take the standard image of "used book store" straight out of your mind and turn it into an actual place, this would be it. What appears to be a tiny little storefront down a side street opens into a veritable warren of rooms once inside, the extent of the place is really quite amazing.

They had some sweets that you could buy as well as lots of different gift ideas and trinkets. I don't remember there being anything new in print.
