I can’t quite put into words what I felt when I looked at this picture from the Mars Hill Bellevue Facebook page, but I will try. I felt I was looking at a National Geographic story in pictures. I had to stop at this one and look at the many books still on the shelves. They seem like museum pieces now dated and out of place with a meaning different in the present than when they were first placed on the shelves. I can’t tell if the man on the floor is collecting good buys or is reminiscing or is boxing up some of the books because the bookstore will soon close.
