This lovely bookstore is located in Pullman, WA. It has creeky old floors and messy, often chaotic shelves. It has a comfortableness and familiarity to it that makes it so I could stay there all day.
Plus, they have very decent prices compared to the name store Barnes and Noble. I love hard cover books, but I can't buy very many at a time when I'm at Barnes and Noble. Coaching and saving up for college and a mission doesn't afford for such luxuries.
So I go to Brused Books. They have random editions, some as old as the 1920's, and even older! And the average price for a hardcover story is six dollars. Yes! In the single digits! So this trip I afforded to buy: Moby Dick, The Prince and the Pauper, and Candide in hardcover. I was disappointed to find that they were out of hardcover Les Miserables and Pride and Prejudice. But since I don't even own these books and they were about two bucks, I bought those as well. (well, I own Les Miserables...but the one at Brused Books came in two, more digestable volumes...)
I wonder if there's a bookstore somewhere in the vicinity of Salt Lake City that has the same stink, the same creekiness, the same familiarity...I'm sure it'd become my haunting place...

I've got one for you Nat!
Two words: Sam Weller's. It's the hidden gem of Salt Lake City, with a rare book room and shelves upon shelves of glorious and wonderful treasures.
You'd love it.
Come back home! I am dying at KYAT! Save me! When will you be back? I am wondering if you feel like performing a miracle on Friday.
No way! I was TOTALLY just going to say "Two words: Sam Weller's."
Get out of my brain! That was what I thought of when I read this post.
That's it. We're planning a trip to Salt Lake. I'll pay. I have like a million Trax tokens to burn. And when I say a million, I mean like 10.
