text: I was reading the Talk thread on book clubs and I recalled this place.\nIt is a diamond in the rough and I shall go there this week to pick the cumulative brain of their staff:)\n\nBook Gallery is a place to lose time in the lovely smell of old books.  Remember when libraries had copies of books with cut pages for regular circulation?  When cellophane was a method of book covering? This is that kind of place.  Complete collections of out of print serials, favorites from your parents' and grandparents' childhoods. \n\n In here I have found books printed in foreign languages other than Spanish, British food lore of the 50's and 60's and bookshelves gorgeous enough to lust after in their own right. War historians will find the most dedicated shelf space but there is something for nearly everyone to be had.\n\nI had a lovely game of when-was-it-printed judging only by a given tome's binding one Saturday afternoon at this location.  The constant discoveries of interest kept the game going for at least two hours!
