No sir there aren't any computers here, what you're looking for is the library. I'm afraid I can't let you go to bathroom sir, no, please don't insist. If you're not even interested in anything that we have here and refuse to behave I'm going to have to ask you to leave, sir. Please don't make me have to call in security.

I inwardly cringe at the left-wing posturing of the well-manicured, racially diverse customers and staff: tall, handsome negros, and fat upper-middle class kikes. With the round glasses. Always with the god-damn round glasses. A few months earlier, the store was still owned by Garrison Keillor, I think, but he's fucked off into totally private life for the sin of touching a woman's back, or something. Such is his lifetime reward for being a good DFLer. I wonder whether his life's work has been disappeared down the memory hole, as in literally destroyed. Naturally I angrily buy my books with cash and get out.

They had a good, deeply discounted book on Brutalist architecture, and some philosophy books I wanted; I grabbed the latter. Some employee gabbed with a photographer about how to photograph the re-branding/"re"-opening. Months earlier I'd been here; they had one slim Cocteau volume which slightly interested me at the time, but not enough to buy.

In the front, on last visit: an actually very good art-historical survey of the Tale of Genji.
