Like Jeff I found many a prize on the jammed shelves. I'm literally sick. As a lifelong advocate for and customer of vintage bookstores, especially those that only deal in genre fiction like mystery novels and science fiction, I am truly heartbroken by this insane and purposeless violence. Chicago is being ruined as well.

There is the great standing perennial problem to which human reason is as far from an answer as ever.”<br /><br />― Arthur Conan Doyle, The Adventure of the Cardboard Box<br /><br />(God Bless Don Blyly and crew for the 46 years of reading pleasure they've provided, that can never be erased, and best wishes to the future.)
