bookstore

I have not yet reached my goal, but my cause is just!

Looks like the actual Portland bookstore used to film the well-known Portlandia sketch is sooo over Portlandia now.

Actually they literally wrote an open letter, 'f*ck Portlandia' about its decision to post the sign and to stop associating with the IFC show.

"Fire safety, third floor."

And they share them on signs.

No kidding, the racism can get pretty ugly. This one's available on Google's e-reader collection (WHICH WE IN NO WAY ENDORSE OR APPROVE OF ETC ETC)

...and do they have a section for sexist old books?

I tried to keep my tongue off the latest David McCullough release but it was too sexy and they caught me and made me buy it. Now I want to go to Paris and be brilliant or something.

Try a different bookstore.

It's always a win to see a seller who cares so much about his product that he's willing to give (some of) it away for free, just to spread the joy s/he finds in it to others. "The Proprietor" in this pic doesn't just sell books to meet a profit motive (although that's obviously important), s/he genuinely cares about reading and encouraging other people to read, unlike proprietors of certain other bookselling chains.

THE GREAT BOOK-EYE SEES ALL.

Seems legit!
