Black Spring Books

Located next to Henry Miller’s childhood home, Black Spring Books might not have a front window to peer into, but dare to open the discreet metal door and you’ll enter a paradise of literature. There’s a garden, and a cat, but most importantly, there’s a wonder-filled selection of used books in a handful of specific genres like poetry, and Russian and French literature, though the owner’s affinity for rare and first editions shines through.
