Interesting Store, Rude Staff

I purchased a few items from this store and ending up having to make a return. When I made the return the woman who helped was sarcastic and rude about the whole thing. I won't be shopping at Wide World Books...

Wonderful!

Part indie bookstore, part luggage store, and all brilliant, Wide World Books & Maps is the type of neighborhood gem that every community wishes it had. If you need anything for travel locally, domestically,...

hugely informative

This is what browsing is for: every time I go on a trip, I find a book or two here to make it that much better. Usually I can choose from among several for the same place.
