if you haven’t been to adam’s books, go already! it’s only open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on saturdays. the books are a bit overpriced, but the sheer number and variety makes it worth it to at least check it out. this used to be along my walk from my house to mu’s campus and the window displays were a source of daily entertainment for me. among the walls(literally, floor to ceiling) of books, you will likely find some gems. my favorite purchase here was a misogynistic ‘70s guide book called ‘how to pick up women in discos.’ i also scored a bunch of primary source material for my undergraduate history thesis here. the lady who works there is super funny and helpful and most importantly is open(sort of) to haggling on book prices. if you plan on purchasing something, be sure to have your checkbook or cash handy, because they don’t accept credit/debit.
