    I kept hearing how big The Book Shop was.  Some people told me it covered 5,000 square feet, others 6,000.  But nobody mentioned how good a bookstore it was, so I really wasn't expecting much.  

    Well, The Book Shop is a truly excellent secondhand bookstore, run by a true old-school bookstore man.  The collection runs the gamut from popular fiction to psychology, history, cookery, and belles lettres, plus an extensive DVD rental service, but it contains a veritable mother lode of bookstore gold and the prices are generally very fair.  This is the kind of bookstore I could easily spend hours in (as well as hundreds of dollars), and I'm pretty picky about my bookstores.

    Did I mention they're friendly?  And they have mascot, too.
