An Ode To East Village Books

Allow me to dip into some self-indulgence, because it’s appropriate. I want to talk to you about a small book store on St.Mark’s Place and East 8th. “Why?” you may ask (you never seem to do that these days though because you’ve completely forgotten me, you selfish prick)? Well, this
