Very personal bookstore

Wednesday, May 24, 2006
Bailey-Coy Books is a small bookstore done really well. I've spent long spells in there, reading whole bunches of little cards with staff recommendations, and being guided by them down avenues I wouldn't otherwise have found. Who'd have thought that in a gay/lesbian-accented Capitol Hill bookstore I would have followed a staff person's high praise and left with a novel (Gilead) about an aging midwestern minister's gentle reflections on his life? Bailey-Coy also has some beautiful local artists' notecards for sale.
