I recently attended a reading at this very likable and aptly-named venue. The decor is comfy and old-school. Even the lectern is upholstered in brown leather with studs such as you might see in an old courtroom or traditional Mexican restaurant. Shelves of collectors editions line the walls. The glass cases house temporary exhibits. For example, I enjoyed an exhibit of art deco memorabilia. Its agreeable to get a glass of wine at the bar, sit on the sofa and discuss books.
