Unlike some people, I can appreciate bookshops that put out books that are not for sale. This is the case with A Good Read-- the whole back section is a library of antiquarian sets of Dickens and other classics with a sign that says "Not for Sale" (and under which someone has graffito-ed NOT YET!). I love the idea that the person who owns the store isn't just selling for profit, but they're also keeping simply out of love (and willing to share).
BUT! That doesn't mean that they don't have a fairly good selection of books that ARE available to purchase, again most impressive to me are the antiquarian sets.
A great place to go if you're a collector (hey, maybe you can even bargain to buy that Dickens set...).
