Tucked away at the ass end of a dead end street is where he had discovered the place, looking like a remnant of the last century. A book store aptly called The Book Nook.
From the outside it wasn’t very inviting. Run down and and disheveled as it was. However inside was the coolest little book store he had ever seen.
You’d forgive the fine coating of dust for all its charm and its quaint personality. Everything was solid wood with hand crafted built in shelves and even a comfortable looking window seat that had yesterday contained one ancient looking, snoozing shop cat.
The smell had been that great aging paper scent and the lighting was very warm and natural. Not the brash white in the office buildings he was so used to.
He had been disappointed that he had happened upon it by mistake on his way to an appointment and couldn’t stay. Promising himself that he would come back tomorrow afternoon, he had opened the door to leave when a woman had come rushing in, holding books above her head to shelter her from the rain that had begun to fall outside.
