This is on Chestnut between 19th and 20th, I think. Ask for
Henry if he is still there, which I doubt. That store used to
ahve a separate section on noire and vintage paperbacks, but
it has been rearranged now. I like it better before. Henry is
very knowledgeable. They ahve, or had, some interesting rare
books in the back, if you ask. The Book Trader at 5th and
South is a fine used book store and has a good mystery
section.
