Journalist, novelist
Morley once contributed a
few words to an advertisement for Leary's
Book Store in Philadelphia:
"…Why do the literary
journals say so little in honor of man's only nirvana, the Secondhand
Bookstore?...A Man of Feeling always frequents the secondhanders."
Exactly. I find that I am
never annoyed by spending another few minutes in an old bookstore where there
are used books stacked floor to ceiling….
If that makes me a
"Man of Feeling," well, yes, I plead guilty.
Sadly, Leary's—despite
Morley's kind words—closed its doors in 1969.
Requiescat in pace.
