Feb. 27th, 2003 10:16 amPerhaps it is just me, but I have just encountered what is either the coolest or most pathetically obviously named bookstore in a long time. That is to say, if someone tried to petition a building wizard at a WoD MUSH to let them have a business by this name, they'd probably be slapped for the act of tattooing 'supernatural doings welcome, come as you are' across their metaphorical foreheads.
It's a place called Anubis Books, and it's in England - Northampton, I think. I was looking for books by John Batchelor about the Ainu of Japan at abebooks.com, and their name popped up on the list. Dr. Batchelor worked as a missionary among the Ainu in the early years of the 20th century, so most of the books were $250-$500, but Anubis had a couple of books for around $75 each. I'm not that interested - but it was still neat to see the name of the business.
