And the size: I love the size. This is a human-scale bookshop. Human scale, sane, bounded — it is a shop you can know, a shop that doesn’t intimidate or hide anything. The whole is visible as soon as you enter. It’s a shop that invites returning not because you’re trying to discover a mysterious corner, but because the selection changes with season; there is a river-like quality to stepping inside and I much prefer a river to an ocean when looking for books.
