This is the way bookstores, particularly used bookstores used to be before the very clean Borders type of stores took over. The only thing missing here is a place to hang and read.
The proprietors of the store are truly book nerds in a good way. They know pretty much every book ever put in print. Whether you have a recommendation for a book on a particular subject, or a specific book, they have heard of it and if it isn’t buried in the store (and available for sale at 50% off!!!), they’ll get it for you. Contrast that with most of the Borders type operations, even another bookstore in Salem’s sales help who rarely know what you’re talking about unless it’s a new bestseller.
These older types of “mom and pop” businesses are quite rare and need to be supported. Those who are real bibliophiles absolutely LOVE these guys who own Derby Square Books because of the service they provide, not to mention the cool book you’ll come across because you’re forced to kind of rummage through the titles. Still, if you ask for a book, they’ll know EXACTLY where in the store it is located.
Welcome to Salem!
