Open Books is one of the two (I think) exclusively poetry stores in the United States. As an literary buff, this is a great business as well as artistic triumph. The owners are so open and friendly, even willing to open up their store at different hours to accommodate special student requests and such. It almost goes without saying that the content of this store is impressive and beautiful. Many people, even most English majors as myself, shy away from poetry but with stores like Open Book celebrating the art of poetry, it can be made so accessible and enlightening. Next time you're up for an intellectual feast, check out Open Books and get lost in the words for hours.
