Nestled just slightly off the beaten path is a gorgeous little gem. Bart's Books is a treasure trove of well worn books with a unusual home – an outdoor book mart. How it's possible, I have no idea.
I loved getting lost in all of the rooms and could easily have spent hours photographing spines of books, flipping pages to reveal incredible illustrations, and breathing in the nostalgic smell of old books. In awe, I moved from shelf to shelf examining the old typography – type used to have such a place of honor and respect in book design, it's so rare to see that attention to detail now. The well worn spines beckoned to me and begged to be gently pulled down and flipped through. I can't begin to explain the spell I was under.
Book lovers, typographers, photographers – I urge you to visit.
