Shop Atmosphere

“Shelves are organized like a library catalogue and will politely shush anyone who asks prices twice. Bizarre university trappings everywhere: a chalkboard that argues back, filing cabinets that rearrange themselves overnight, and a tiny debating circle of animated quills that adjudicate returns. If you fail to bow to the bust of the founder on your first visit, expect a strict but fair late-fee in the form of a pop quiz.”
