""If you are ever in Brooklyn, that borough of superb sunsets and
magnificent vistas of husband-propelled baby-carriages, it is to be
hoped you may chance upon a quiet by-street where there is a very
remarkable bookshop. This bookshop, which does business under the
unusual name ""Parnassus at Home,"" is housed in one of the comfortable
old brown-stone dwellings which have been the joy of several generations
of plumbers and cockroaches. The owner of the business has been at pains
to remodel the house to make it a more suitable shrine for his trade,
which deals entirely in second-hand volumes. There is no second-hand
bookshop in the world more worthy of respect.""
