Sentimental set just from the pictures

Sentimental lego set...the bookshop..  

I didn't want to spend $178 on this set, but the bookshop set I've seen brings back college memories (from years ago!)

This is a picture of the set that I like from lego.com

Sentimental bookshop, expert, creator
I'm a nerd, but I liked to study in college and there was a library with 4 floors and a window on the 4th floor like this building .  The 4th floor was only study carels but it had comfy chairs below the window so you couldn't see out, but there was good light from the window...

Library like bookstore

I don't know what it was about that building but I could take any hard subject and learn it there because it was so quiet and peaceful...
Fast forwarding to grad school,  there wasn't a building I could find that was quiet enough to study in, so when stuff got too hard to learn, I'd escape after classes to Borders bookshop in the city that was blocks away.  It was 3 stories and I'd just look at books that were more relaxing than textbooks..  it had trees in front..the only pic left on internet that I could find was here...



So, this set is one I'm hoping to find used..it takes me back to memories of youth and the sense of being able to learn anything in those books.  So different from now where everything is digital and having to stare at a computer to learn!!  Long live bookshops! (And libraries!)
