The small bell tingled when the door was swung open. The rusted handle caught uncomfortably under the customer’s hand. The curtains veiling the front door blew gustily and coughed out a cloud of dust. A large stack of books greeted the keen eyes entering the small crowded shop. It was 8 feet long and had 6 shelves devouring the entire place on the wooden framework. Books sat on the lip of the ledge‚ leaning over as if peering over the end. The torn and tattered exteriors of the fat volumes of paper
