Whenever I go in there, I come out with at least a box of books, and a feeling of adventure and triumph.

Berlin Germany suffocates under the grip of the Nazis.<br /><br />Not a good year to bring a Jewish child into the world. However, my parents Paula and Heinz Heinemann were delighted when I was born February 29th, a leap year baby.<br /><br />"Our narrow escape in 1939 to Shanghai, China and the subsequent years in the Jewish Ghetto of Hongkew under Japanese rule are vividly described in my autobiographical account, Blond China Doll. We remained in Shanghai after the war and were there when the Communists took over in 1949." <br /><br />http://www.hanneloreheadley.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-1164169621479159632006-11-21T20:27:00.000-08:002006-11-21T20:27:00.000-08:00Ahhh, thanks for the warning (hoping it's not UBC,...Ahhh, thanks for the warning (hoping it's not UBC, then, because I really kind of want to go there). And I don't know why I wrote that in the first place because: <A HREF="http://www.powells.com" REL="nofollow">Powell's</A> and the <A HREF="http://semcoop.booksense.com" REL="nofollow">57th St. Books</A> have spoiled me for life. Esp. Powell's, since they regularly give books away. Which is why my room looks like <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/solaana/303266844/" REL="nofollow">this</A>. But I can't wait to hear what you have to say about Anil's Ghost since that book's been sitting on my shelf for a while waiting for me to be in a deep book type of mood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-1164124264977425362006-11-21T07:51:00.000-08:002006-11-21T07:51:00.000-08:00One word: HeavenOne word: HeavenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-1164122795539257212006-11-21T07:26:00.000-08:002006-11-21T07:26:00.000-08:00Oh!

My college town has a similar used book shop - <A HREF="http://www.webstersbookstorecafe.com/" REL="nofollow">Websters</A> - that took a good portion of my food budget. Of course Webster's is also a cafe, so you could actually buy a book and an espresso, sit out in the crisp Pennsylvania autumn air and read.<BR/><BR/>I miss college...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-1164077227113627082006-11-20T18:47:00.000-08:002006-11-20T18:47:00.000-08:00That's my ideal bookstore, right there.
