We have one in Penticton, BC, Canada called the Book Shop that is labyrinthine.. its my go to place when I feel out of place or misaligned with life and the world.

Black Star books was mine. It doesn't exist anymore, sadly. It was in the city, but when you walked in there was the kind of hush that's only caused by packing every nook and cranny with layers and layers of closely bound paper.

Aww I'm so sorry they closed :( That is a great way to describe it. I only ever buy books from there because I am terrified they might close down one day..
