@56440538 Agreed. I wonder as well given they enjoy their bookstores together. What set that one apart from the others?...I'll venture there one day and check it out myself. I love a good bookstore. 

Edit: A bit curious that you first mention the black and brown faces on the bookcovers though. Neither of the two is caucasian, so it's not a race thing. Maybe you've heard similar remarks and that's the one that rings most true? 

 @21f813a4 Glad to hear it's not a race thing, but to be honest, as it's one of the most special places in the world to me, I utterly don't care that a couple of Marines felt "uncomfortable." They're *Marines* for Christ's sakes; if a bookstore makes them uncomfortable we're all fucked. 

 @56440538 That's certainly one perspective. 
To me it looks like an incredible shop to get lost in. 

 @21f813a4 Or found! I used to go there with Allen Ginsberg to pick up his mail.
