Book Description
Excerpt from The Morris Book Shop: Impressions of Some Old Friends in Celebration of the Xxvth Anniversary Morris's book shop gets younger as it gets Older. Here it is twenty-five years since Frank Morris came to Chicago from Indiana, and he has had a book shop ever since. Morris ought to be a slim, ascetic, bespectacled, mild-eyed, benign old character, who glides around among musty books on dusty shelves. He ought to wear shiny, slimpsy trousers and a nankeen coat. Yes; I shall insist on the nankeen coat. I never saw one, to my knowledge, but that sounds like the sort Of coat he should wear. And his fingers should tremble as he reverently touched a cherished volume you wanted to buy. His book shop ought to be staged by Belasco. There should be dim light over everything, and Frank should be discovered down stage in the center, with a dull spot-light silvering his hair and illuminating his face with a sort of a soft religious radiance, so that you would be ready to weep when he speaks.
