Dusty Bookshelf

Sometimes we take things for granted...like the warmth and dedication of independent book stores. This store is a treasure and we found some books to treasure. on our trip back to my home town. Also, I bought an art tee shirt that commemorates The Great Gatsby...strangers stop to compliment me on it! Rock chalk!

Dusty Love Middle of the week shopping is made for new discoveries in neighborhoods. During my big birthday year of travel, I found The Dusty Bookshelf to be a wonderful, clean, spacious feast for the eyes. Even with my love for my books, as an author, I would enjoy just hanging out here to write. The store reminded me of a movie set as tomes peeked out from the shelves or sat like small towers piled up on the floor. With a resident cat that can throw an attitude, I found the black ball of fur curled up in a cushy chair. At a nearby table, sat an old typewriter in need of use. It was love at first sight. The staff was kind and helpful, leaving me to wander and ask questions. In my search to read a different genre, I found myself in the children’s section looking at the Nancy Drew series, (don’t judge!) one I never read before. Just as I was about to pay for the books, postcards and bumper stickers that had gathered in my hands, stacks of books that hadn’t made it to the shelves were at my feet! The clerk allowed me to go through a few of them like an out of control child. Overall: If I lived here, the staff would know me on a first name bases. Stopping at The Dusty Bookshelf was one of the highlights of my day.

Great place to just sit and read and pic up cool books. Also is surrounded by a great neighborhood of stores.

Beyond the welcoming atmosphere and feline friends I am constantly impressed with how many books they have on hand that I come in looking for. Come to pet the cat, and stay to get lost browsing the shelves for something you never knew you needed, or something you've always wanted to read.

I can't say enough about this shop. It's the best place for pulp SciFi books. I've been coming here since high school and I've never had a bad experience.
