...we found a rare book store...so I'm on the floor going through piles of books - it was pretty well organized...guess what book I bought...that's right The Book of Tofu - I had a copy years ago - now lost...so I was thrilled to replace it...
...guess what book Karen bought...that's right - Brideshead Revisited - on my recommendation based on the copy that sweet Maureen sent me from England...
...and we saw a mounted policeman on our way back to the hotel...

Looks like my kind of bookstore. So glad you got what you wanted.
I love finding cozy stores like that. It makes purchases so meaningful.
I recently into a used bookstore and was horrified by the prices. Amazon has really spoiled me. Paying just a little bit more gets you a new book..shipped to your door. I am hoping the prices in the used bookstores else where are not as high as the store I was in.

I love digging through bookstores too!
And it was about a year ago!
Don't you just love that small surge of excitement when you spot a book you've had in the past and had almost forgotten about?
We have a triffic book shop here, Kim's Books. I have to be strong and keep away!
The police horses in London can sneak up behind you and snort, so making you jump. I asked the police officer how such a big creature can do that. He said they hace special rubber tipped nails on their shoes.
But, I also think they are sneaky!
the only time i've ever been in omaha i did not have a very pleasant experience . . . except i did meet up with my honey at the bus depot . . . and then we got the heck out of there. i'll have to tell the story sometime.
i'm glad that you had (are having?) such a wonderful time there! the bookstore looks awesome!
and the bit about scout and the "diggers" - that is JUST LIKE my isaac-boy. :)
Oh, I love the Old Market. We used to go there when I was a kid and we visited family in Council Bluffs, IA. The book store isn't The Antiquarian is it? That's probably long gone...
Love, love, love bookstores - new and used. Cookbooks are always a good choice too!
Brideshead Revisited is on my to be read pile. For some reason it seems like a good winter read. I am looking forward to it. I could spend days in a bookstore :)
