I walked in and was awestruck and the number of books. Shelves stuffed to the gills and stacks growing from the floors made the aisles like a treasure hunt.
Although the books were listed alphabetically by author, they were mixed around a bit.
I found copies of the Elsie Dinsmore books that were around 100 years old. I had to fight not to buy them. They were originally in the Clifton Forge Library.
Beautiful old copies of Little Men and Jo's Boys begged me to buy them.
I had to refuse.
Amelie (17 mo.) and Isabelle (3) enjoyed running around and looking at books.
Amelie carried this one, finally dropping it on the floor:

| Dracula...and later, a home, she picked up Nietsczhe |
I specifically looked for the Anne of Green Gable books and found some beautiful copies! One in particular was given as a Christmas gift in 1920. The cover is lovely.

| I love the cover! |
 |
| I love notes in books! |
 |
| Crammed, stuffed, and overflowing! |
 |
| I only bought one of these. Then I found the Anne of Green Gables Books, and bought five. |

| The Children's Section...My Favorite! |
All in all, a fabulous trip to one of the best used bookstores I have ever been privileged to visit.
I love that!! We had a great used bookstore in the town we used to live in. I could find 120-year-old pocket-sized editions of shakespeare plays. I gobbled that stuff right up!
