Bookstore in the Flatiron District
I remember that I picked up a post card somewhere about this small bookstore. One day I was in Union Square so I sauntered over to Idlewild bookstore a block away. If it wasn't for a sign outside I might have passed by the store.
Never one to pass up a bookstore, I walked up a few steps and inside the small store with wooden floors. Idlewid features fiction and non-fiction books from all over the world. It has maps and globe also. All that's needed is a small little coffee stand.
I'll need to go back again very soon. I just feel in my blood that there's a book with my name on it.
