Here's Ken selling books at the counter. This view is from the front door. The first floor seating is there on the left with the book shelves extending to the back, with the door into the espresso bar at the back.
This is the upstairs seating. There is a couch facing two wing back chairs between windows looking out over the street. there are three tables up here, along with the mystery section, (my favorite) westerns, the children's section and several non-fiction sections.
The door through to another bookstore, a new bookstore, called The Second Story owned by the owners of the building, is at the back of this room and leads to the commercial kitchen where Ken and Melodie's baker bakes the pastries and soups they serve.

Here's Melodie, soooooooo happy, that they made some money after all their efforts and expense trying to get this espresso business up and running. Look at the wads of money she's clutching in her sweaty little paws! What a crazy girl! That's their new used commercial espresso machine sitting beside her, that she, or for that matter, none of us, knew how to run just yesterday! It didn't seem to matter to all the people who came in to get a latte and pastry. They did a really good business their first day so we can only hope it keeps up so they can pay their bills that they have piled up with this expansion.
