I was there 2 days ago. The atmosphere of the shop is just amazing. As soon as you get there you feel there is some kind of magical aura in it. The only bad thing were the cashiers working that day... so rude and cold.

As a man who has made his living for 24 years as a writer, this simple video, this philosophy, this place, struck me to my core. Is there anything more grand, more touching than the written word? Art is the only thing that marks man's progress. Rest in peace, Mr. Whitman. You gave far more than you took. Sylvia, pulchritudinous spirit, burn brightly my dear, burn ever so brightly. Viva art, viva truth, viva life.

"Avenue Victor Hugo Bookshop" In Boston (on Newbury St) was like this place, and there was one or two or three places like this in Berkeley, CA and San Francisco... as well as Philadelphia and New York. Even a couple in Los Angeles.
