eubGot some bagels at Bagel Oasis and hit some nearby bookstores. On 34th under 99 was a bookstore and tea shop that is no more. The 35th block of Stone Way has a cluster of three.
Seattle Book Center is a used-and-rare shop, more on the rare side, with some unusual stuff, mostly older (my favorite title was Fun with a Saw). Limited fiction. I didn't happen to find anything I was looking for. (Well, a Revolt in the Desert (the 1927 publication), which I paged through a large fraction of looking to see if it had a version of Lawrence's capture in Deraa -- but I wasn't really going to drop several hundred bucks on it.)
Seaocean Book Berth has everything to do with the sea: naval history, making model ships, coelenterates, Hornblower, Dirk Pitt, fly-fishing; they even take their marine mandate broadly enough to have a little section on Pepys. Great little bookstore, and has to be a top place to look for anything in its line.
B. Brown was not open.
