Until today, I never met a bookshop I didn't love. But I just couldn't do this one. The moldy smell and the "Enter at your own risk" sign at the front door did me in, even despite all those tantalizing Penguin orange covers.

Princess-Kingofkings Oh, that does look sad. I encountered a bookstore like that in Illinois in June. 2d
TheBookHippie I do those all the time 😂👀 but Mr BookHippie politely waits outside although none of the ones I‘ve encountered smelled of mold. 😵💫 2d

TieDyeDude That\'s just unmanageable. I would think it\'d be a safety risk trying to get anything low. You wonder how they stay in business. 2d
TEArificbooks That looks like a hoarder situation and since they aren‘t taking care of the books they will mold and collect bugs. The books will deteriorate and need to be trashed. 2d

kspenmoll I could not go in either between looks & mold. Yuk!!!! 2d
kelli7990 That looks like a mess. I wouldn‘t want to go in. If I walk in the front door and see that, I‘m walking back out and going somewhere else. 2d
LeahBergen Nope! 😬 2d
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Yikes! I'd peruse the carousel of Penguins, and that's about it. 2d
