It was indeed very cool to see both of you in the store. You should have mentioned you'd gotten donuts, though, I could have made an effort to top that. Now I'm going to have to bring something New Yawk-ey along when I visit Vroman's next. Thanks for the kind words Patrick. It was indeed very cool to see both of you in the store.

Though there certainly are a lot of fiction writers living nearby. Brooklyn is the fiction writing capital of the US.

I'm so glad I came across this; I'm going to pass it on to New York friends who I think will enjoy it. I know there's a lot to see here, but another store I love is The Corner Bookstore on Madison and 93rd. It's way out of the way, but it's lovely, and there are a handful of UES gems that make the trip worthwhile. Is that Brooklyn statistic real?
