Tuesday night I visited a couple of my favorite places- the used book stores of downtown Milwaukee. I was looking for a specific book on minimalism, because I like the thrill of the hunt. You'd think every copy of that book would be littering thift stores across the country, because heaven forbid you have a book cluttering up your life, but no dice.
I liked digging around, anyway! Here are some things I found.
Cats! These two were grooming each other in a chair at Downtown Books. Groom on.
A room FULL of cassettes.
Some kinda neat vintage book covers.
On the third floor of Renaissance Books, I found a vintage book for the ladies. It must have been pretty scandalous in the 40's, right?
It's been a while since I visited these places... maybe since my birthday last summer. It's funny I don't go more often, because once I get in there I really enjoy looking around. Renaissance Books especially, because there are piles to sift through. It would drive some people crazy, but I love it. I'm always on the lookout for a few specific books, and though I rarely find one of them, that's the fun and excitement of it for me.

Books are amazing, aren't they? The scent, the sound of turning pages, the little treasures that one can find in the dark and forgotten corners... just about perfection.
