A record collector died 😿 in a house on my way back from the 🚲 shop where I had to go to get my breaks fixed

Stuck walking, I treated myself to ice cream then got some of his books on my surprisingly pleasant trip home

Also stopped at #MassyBooks, which you should visit if you’re in #Vancouver

A memorable haul!

@AccordionBruce Is Massey Books the one downtown right on a corner, and I think the cross street is Seymour?

@IanAMartin
That’s MacCleod’s

#MassyBooks (I think I spelled that wrong before) is in Chinatown on Georgia

Indigenous owned, two stories, way more tidy then MacLeod’s 😹 And they have a rare book space behind a secret door!

The music #books are upstairs so not 🦽 accessible

Cramped overflowing MacCleod’s is even less so. We need a guide to #accessible #bookstores in #Vancouver
I think Spartacus on Commercial Drive would do pretty well 🏴 ☭

If you look up bookstores on Google maps, it gives you a little wheelchair next to which ones claim to be accessible

If you did A Disability Guide to Vancouver’s Bookstores you could test how much of each shop that little icon applies to

All of the areas that other customers can access?

The washrooms?

Is there transit access to the shop in the first place?

That’d be a good article

@AccordionBruce Right right right! New place, east of Main, west of Gore! I haven’t been in there yet! Looks swell!
@IanAMartin
They’re really nice. Supportive of many good community things
