Locally owned bookstores are hard to come by these days. Most of the time when you think of bookstores, places like Borders or Barnes & Noble come to mind, which is a pity because a place like Poor Richard's Bookstore is a real gem. There are two used bookstores downtown, this one and the Bargain Book Warehouse, and both of them have that homey feeling that you're never going to find at a big box store. It's amazing what you'll find when you burrow deep into the far reaches of the place. I have spent many happy hours at PR's Bookstore, and from where I'm sitting as I type this I can spot numerous books that I've purchased there over the years. It may not be a big box store, but after all these years the place is still going strong. I love that.

Perfect name for the store. Discount anything is big these days.
It's great that they are still there. We have one here called Bill's Bookstore and it has been in business for years. You also caught some nice looking reflections in the windows!
