This is an absolutely gorgeous book. The charmingly chaotic structure of it kind of reflects the shop itself (a "socialist utopia masquerading as a bookstore"). The narrative of the history of the shop is interspersed with photos, drawings, magazine clippings, people's recollections, and the mini-biographies that the Tumbleweeds who stayed at the shop were required to write, making it like a beautifully messy scrapbook. Brilliantly evocative.
