Seen at a Bookstore 3

Sweet little old lady with cute hat and running shoes. Came in with her daughter. I kept staring at her, so I would remember her features. I think I was scaring her. Must try to be less conspicuous in the future....

Seen at a Bookstore

This will hopefully be another semi-regular feature. Have we not all seen some fascinating creatures wander into our favourite bookstore haunts? Books are the mystical magnet that draws in the unique, the eccentric and the just plain bizarre. So every now and then I will share some of what I see. This is not an original concept; I was inspired by the very talented illustrator Jorge Colombo, and his New York dailies.

I have seen this woman in black a couple of times downtown. It's hard to draw from memory; I hope I have done her justice. Both times she was checking out the books in the marked-down section. Hope she got some good deals.
