Sundance is probably the most quainte bookstore I've ever been to. Like all small bookstores, it has to find a balance between staying small and local, and actually having books that enough people would want to buy in order to stay in business. It feels like Sundance has found that balance. It was full of the books you'd probably expect at a book store, but also full of things you'd hope to expect but probably never find at a small bookstore: things that made sense for the locale of where the store resides.
So when you walk into a bookstore in New York City, you'd expect to see books on local things; like rats and pizza, and rats eating pizza or whatever. But you don't. You get what you would at any regular chain but in a smaller size*.
Sundance feels like a bookstore that appreciates where it resides, and doesn't try to feel like it's from anywhere else.
The only thing I have against Sundance is that it has "& Music" on their sign. Nah man, that's not a music selection. I get what you're trying, but you fell a few steps short.
