My favorite used bookstore is gone these few years now - it was on the campus of the University of Illinois in the YMCA basement, which always smelled of a little Indian restaurant down there. The white-haired proprietor of the bookstore had been a student at the U of I in the early 1960s and had picked up a large collection of original Doubleday Image paperbacks at the Newman Center back then (back when Image was a reliable Catholic publisher). Many of those good old books ended up on my bookshelves.
