Pulp Fiction Book Exchange

Pulp fiction– cult classic!
Strolling through the Kingsway this cozy, built up book store drew me in. The size of this shop is probably just big enough to fit the five or so bookshelves packed into it, leaving just enough room to awkwardly brush passed fellow browsers that have reached a stationary position (I wonder why there is never an overtaking lane in book store aisles? perhaps it adds to the intimacy of the experience?) The selection is vast and the feng shui is so an the money I became ever more self-​conscious of my bookshelfs’ disorderly state at home.
The woman at the counter was absorbing the knowledge from a book at the counter and greeted me warmly, providing me with a basic over view and a general direction before resuming her read. The displays are simple but effective and fundamentally– the books sell themselves, especially when they are so easy to locate. Best of all, as the name suggests, they offer an exchange so a trade is on the horizon for me– out with the old and bring on the books from Pulp! The prices are a bit steeper than expected for a second hand bookshop (especially when «second hand» is code for– as old as dirt and has passed through two hands, two hundred times over) The books were generally in reasonable condition but you pay for the easy accessibility– no doubt!
Great service, cozy shop and good vibes, the library has nothing on this place.. . except maybe a slightly stronger economic angle and wider aisles to accommodate personal space.
