Get thee to a bookery! No really, hie thee hence to this delightful shop if you’ve not been already.
Even my 7-year-old little bro loved poring over the stacks, shelves and boxes at Sheafe Street Books. He found Rummy for Dummies, so that was pretty cool. And he wants Harvey, The Boy Who Couldn’t Fart.
I was surprised to find many recent titles on the shelves (like The Marraige Plot and Bad Feminist), and owner Ken said that he does dabble in new titles as well as the used books which make up the majority of the store.
And breaking news: poetry isn’t just for the ladies anymore!
