The brick building at three hundred twenty-six Bull Street holds a bright blue door that stays propped open when the weather behaves. Esther Shaver opened this shop in nineteen seventy-five, filling the shelves with rare regional titles and local history when most people were clearing books out of downtown. She lived in the rooms upstairs for years, keeping a cat that served as the store’s unofficial manager. Today, the space keeps that quiet, wood-paneled atmosphere, smelling faintly of old paper and dust.
