It was really creepy to wander around the completely empty book shelves at Stacey's yesterday. I felt like I was examining the scene of a road accident. All the fixtures are for sale as well: the heavy bookcases, tables, chairs, benches, display racks.

Wow, I had no idea they were closing...I was just thinking to myself today in New York: why can't I find good bookstores anymore? Maybe it's because there are none left...
This is so dreadfully sad.
Eerie... a weird Aciman-style Shadow City moment.
It was very sad. I felt like I should have brought flowers to lay before the empty shelves!
Mr. Plumley makes me feel inadequate. I guess I'm pleased to have stumbled upon a Shadow City moment, but I have no idea what that is.
Shadow Cities / André Aciman?
How brilliant of you, Tattler! But now there can be no excuse for my ignorance.
