I often perused Spoonbill and Sugartown on aimless Sundays when I lived there. I bought a long, slim poetry book with a kind of fuzzy cover called Attention and Man from Ugly Duckling Press. Still haven't read the whole thing.
My favorite in Atlanta is Eagle Eye books, mostly used, great poetry selection, fun and friendly and well-read staff, old book smell. There are many great bookstores here, but I almost exclusively shop there.
As always, interesting and well-observed and well-expressed. I need to.Visit bookstores more; just books on my Kindle these days unfortunately missing these venues.
Ripped Bodice in Brooklyn has a very different vibe to other bookstores, possibly because it is genre-focused. I've only been there once so far, and no one at the register commented on my book, but they had a lively conversation with the woman in front of me. I also witnessed a kid of about 19 ask a bookseller for recommendations and get a lot of passionate info. It felt like a very judgement-free zone.
