I think the title could have been chosen better. I liked a few, #1 was my favorite. A few are beautiful but most are just different approaches with some coming close to school libraries (yawn). As long as they are well-organized I tend to ignore aesthetics in a bookstore and focus on the trees of that forest.
I used to love routinely browsing through bookstores but it lost its appeal after doing it so much when I was drifting around for a couple of years after some dramatic life changes.
Now I am 95% pragmatic about finding new material.....with the other 5% I'll casually stumble onto something during a conversation. Usually I use online tools or directly approach people who I think might have something interesting to share.
