A wonderful, wonderful tale of Serendipity and the finding of lost books:
Here.
And an even neater word for that kind of bookstore: Bibliorphanage.
Shakespeare and Company (which is a real store, the first of which was the one in Paris that is featured in Highlander) is one, and
The Other Change of Hobbit.
This story found by way of Lee Kottner's
blog. And I found her blog by way of the Master-Apprentice list.
I love fandom. And Bookstores.
