I spent more than a few rainy afternoons in Village Books where much texture was layered on my college years in Bellingham, Washington. This place definitely qualified as an old musty bookstore, located in a historic building with the requisite old plank floors, exposed beams and crumbly brick walls. When I travel, I do my best to find these hold-outs that serve as a center for the underground communities that I have enjoyed tapping into over the years. I recently stumbled across Malaprop's Bookstore while visiting Asheville, NC and I felt like I was walking through the doors of the Village Bookstore once again. I would strongly recommend a visit to any of your readers that visit the Asheville area. I would love to see a traveler's list of indie bookstores from around the country if your readers would be willing to share their favorites. http://villagebooks.booksense.com/NASApp/store/IndexJsp http://www.malaprops.com/NASApp/store/IndexJsp I too admire the indie book sellers who have held their ground amidst the onslaught of mega-bookstores.
