    I regularly find some used Wodehouse novellas in Prospero’s for prices that are more affordable than if I bought them off of Amazon.com. Not to mention the ambience is killer and the dudes there are nice. Plop down in an upholstered chair that is an antique and not a corporate boring nothingness and dig into a book before you buy it. They’re cool, no rush and plenty of real book loving opinions.
