This is one of Eugene's nicest shops, on a lovely stretch of Broadway that feels like a charming oasis in the middle of Eugene's otherwise depressed downtown. J Michaels has a surprisingly wide selection for its size, and the owner is always willing to special order books. He actually seems delighted by the challenge of tracking down a rare or obscure title. I wish Eugene had more businesses like this one, where the owner so clearly loves what he does, takes pride in his store, genuinely cares about his customers, and thrives because of it.
