Blossom Book Shop

We started this place at 84/6 24th Main because there was an empty spot on Agara Commercial Street and we had way too many books at home. It’s a bit cramped in here most days because the stacks just keep growing higher and higher. If you walk past the big tree on the corner, you’ll see our small sign hanging out front. We spend most of our mornings unpacking boxes and trying to find some space on the shelves for new arrivals. Sometimes the piles get a bit wobbly, so you really have to be careful when you're looking through the back rows. People come in from the street to get away from the noise of the traffic for a bit. It’s not a fancy shop with glass cases or anything like that. We just have old wooden shelves and a small desk where we sit. Most of the time, we are just moving things around to make room for more paper. The neighborhood has changed a lot since we first opened up here in Agara, but we’re still doing the same thing every day. You might have to dig around a little to find what you want, but that’s just how it is here. We don't really have a system that makes sense to anyone but us. It stays pretty quiet unless it’s the weekend. We like it that way and hope it stays simple for a long time.
