Wonderful Wordsmiths

Wordsmiths Books is a great independent bookstore in Decatur. It's located in the old post office building and has a white marble, Washingtonian exterior. The inside, however, is very different. In the mid-1990s an architecture firm set up shop inside and turned the building's interior into a stylish and modern office with exposed brick, white walls, original marble and wood flooring and a very open floor plan. Wordsmiths has kept most of the architect firm's work intact, which makes a surprisingly cozy, yet airy bookstore. If I could, I would spend all my free time there.
