The shelves went up and up the walls, all the way to the high ceiling, and I remember wondering what was in the cardboard boxes so far beyond my reach. In addition to a very small selection of books, the store sold boxed stationery, diaries, journals, and high-end fountain and ballpoint-pen sets, as well as drafting and art supplies: brushes, rulers, compasses, slide rules, sketch pads, canvas, and tubes of paint. I don’t remember the place being air-conditioned, but it was always dark and cool inside, even on the most sweltering summer days. Alvord and Smith was located on North Main Street in Gloversville, New York, and if memory serves, they referred to themselves as stationers. The first great bookstore in my life wasn’t really even a bookstore. * These beloved bookstores have closed their doors since the first publication of this book, but we continue to celebrate them through these tributes.
