A store window in Portland, Oregon

Does anyone remember these things? I believe they were called books. Full of paper pages (not web pages), and sold in places called “bookstores.” There is an entire world inside each of the volumes on the shelves behind this window. (Though not a single gazine in sight, from what I can tell.) I hear recall, though the memory is fading after a year in Pandemia, that we used to go to such places and just sort of browse.

Portland, Oregon residents might recognize the window and the shop it belongs to. The photograph comes from a visit to Portland some years back on which we had plenty of time to just wander around with no particular goals in mind — which tends to leave plenty of time for observing and photographing.
