John King Books, the 4-story, former glove factory, used bookstore in Detroit, that is. Granted, it’s been decades since I’ve been there — maybe even going on 20 years, as it was a stop during college and grad school visits home. Right off the Lodge, with onsite parking; way back when the area was not so sketchy that I felt unsafe, though I have no idea now — but looking at google maps, it’s on the edge of the “populated” downtown area, so it looks fairly harmless.
Wonder if I could persuade the family to make a trip there, even though we have no room in the house for more books. . .
