Ellie, I've just looked at them. You might be interested to hear that I spent about 45 minutes in your 'personal heaven' today, that very bookstore you write about visiting on January 5th! It was indeed excellent. There's an exhibition through the back of French mid-century advertising. They were playing some sensuous bossa nova, and there were lots of exquisite cookery magazines. The store was populated entirely by cute young girls, except for me, naturally (although I aspire to be one).
That's the problem with that store; so many great books, but so expensive! (I have to admit that I've spent $70+ on a single book before, though. Three times, actually. It's terrible, especially considering how large of a percentage of my "income" that is.)
I don't think I mentioned this in the entry, but whoever's living in the house right across the street shares my last name, same characters and all. I wish I had the nerve to fool them into thinking I'm a relative and letting me stay at their place.
