Brookline Booksmith—a more spacious Trident. Bonus: their stationary section is gold. This is where I bought the Vintage Classics version of What We Talk About When We Talk About Love. It was sitting on a display table with a yellow sticker on its cover that said "SALE: $6.99". The name Raymond Carver sounded familiar and important, but I was probably thinking of Raymond Chandler, one of my favorite detective novelist. Picking up the paperback, its thin profile felt just right in my hand.
On a separate note, going back to Betsy Lerner, I was really surprised by how reliant some writers are on their editors. I would expect writers to want full independence in the writing process; it's hard for me to believe that a writer would rather listen to the voice of their editor than their own.
