Spine and Crown

I have been frequenting Spine and Crown since not long after they opened, lured in by window displays that are a mix of luridly bad paperbacks from the 60s and books that I might actually be interested in reading. I did indeed find many books that I read and enjoyed, and got to know a great conversationalist in Kris, the keeper of the store.

What I did not get to know until recently was their excellent blog. Thanks to Keith of People's Parking Lot, I now know the joys of Kris' entertaining and effervescent writings about philosophy, life, and most of all, books.
