“It is clear that the books owned the shop rather than the other way about. Everywhere they had run wild and taken possession of their habitat, breeding and multiplying, and clearly lacking any strong hand to keep them down.”
― Agatha Christie

My son shares my love of books, so when we were walking in downtown Berkeley, the first place we stopped at, after brunch, was the bookstore :))
I also learned that Berkeley has no chain stores at all
Not even a Mickey D's!
He has been there for 4 years and its a fact I did not know :))
I was utterly impressed!!
Only mom&pop stores, all so quaint and beautiful
One reason why he does not eat fast food when home ;)
This bookstore was full of mostly used books
We spent an hour there, and I could have spent an entire day without knowing where the time went.
Bought a book he wanted me to read
The feel of a used book is unlike another
There is so much love within the pages
I much prefer pages to the Nook I own, and that I've probably used to read only one book :/
I like the touch and feel of paper, as my eyes skim the words
It is such beautiful pleasure :))
LOL...
Now that's rambling for ya :))))
Have a beautiful day, my dear friends
Your support means the world to me
Thank you for always making the time for my images

The university bell tower (campanile) is seen just left of center. Shot from an off-shore park with a walking trail.
This view gives some idea of the situation of the "east bay cities" and their location between the water and the hills. Berkeley tends to have more trees than some other nearby cities, due to a policy of street planting.

I gather these rather fine oriel windows were quite a recent addition, but they have a touch of Verona about them...
