The Grumpy Bookpeddler

My trip to the Grumpy Bookpeddler this morning was refreshing. No tacky signs or adult easy-​listening music turned up one notch too high – just a cozy little shop where one can get lost in a maze of books. But it wasn’t just that – this used bookstore that buys and trades has its own little imaginative facets that indeed make it one of the more unique spots in town. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by the door-​dog, Darby, and then set off to my own accord where indeed, I did get wrapped up in the winding shelves of literature, encyclopedias, history, science, and more.
Shelves were sagging with that familiar smell that any bookworm can affiliate with comfort – old pages and stories just waiting to be read. Winding from the front of the store down the stairs to a little corridor, and then opening up into another room facing the front, they’re categorized by Romance, Fantasy, Sci-​Fi (I was ecstatic at the huge collection of these), a decent-​sized Kid’s section with toys, Philosophy, Religion, Nature, Pets, Math, Tarot Readings and Dreams, and so much more. Little collectibles can be found lying around various shelves, as well, which just added to the store’s ‘hole-​in-​the-​wall’ coziness.
After making a few rounds across the store (where indeed, I still couldn’t take it all in), I purchased a couple books of my own and accessed a ‘loyal customer’ card, a punch-​card offering a tally for every $ 10 spent. After six visits, you can receive 10% off your next one, which is a pretty good deal, in my book!
So, the next time you set off in a book-​finding frenzy, save yourself the trouble and stop by the Grumpy Bookpeddler. Warm weather is fast approaching, too – and if you ask me, the best place to start for some relaxing summer reading is here. J

Well stocked, nice prices and the owner is not grumpy at all! He also accepts trades.
