Falling in bookstore love again/what am I to do?/I can't help it/I was made that way...

It took some doing to find this place -- a few false turns down crooked, crowded streets -- but as they point out on the back of their menu, if you *really* want to find them, you will! The Spawn played Natty Bumpo to my directionless colonist.

| Those are the steps. No elevator. Bookworm power! |

 |
| So in love with the shabby chic, eclectic feel of the place. |
 |
| The walls and ceiling have an industrial look to them. I wonder what was up here before. |
 |
| This painted up, broken down recliner flanked by two kiddie chairs made me smile. |
 |
| Piles of books -- a delicious mix of fiction and nonfiction. |
 |
| I wanted to stretch out on this sofa and stay there all weekend. |
 |
| The playfulness with colors, textures, objects and books made me feel so at home. |

I loved Buy The Book so much that I was too shy to talk to her. I know, but I was afraid I'd burble. |

| Sign hanging by the stairs on the way out. If anyone steals from Buy The Book, I hope Karma messes with them more than twice! How about fifteen times, and a trip down the stairs? |
Buy The Book, thank you so much for existing. I'll be back. You're my reason to come to Daegu.

What a lovely book store....how did you find your way out again? I'd have lost myself in the piles of books.....a tiny slice of book heaven, isn't it? So glad you have one there!
