The store has an intimate setup, offering a comfort zone where people can sit, sip tea or coffee, and discuss travel and books about travel.
"I've seen the owner spends hours with some customers, sharing travel advice and helping them with their upcoming trips," says Halsey.
But it's not only about travel -- Traveler's Bookcase has a sideline devoted to mystery books about travel. Mystery fans can prepare for upcoming trips by reading some sleuthing tales set along their itinerary.
"We have a mystery table with mysteries set around the world," says owner Natalie Compagno. "We've had two signings recently -- Michael Genelin and Cara Black, both hugely successful. We'd love to have more events.
"We also have lots of coffee table books for gifts," she says. "And I just got pulled onto a gift basket project for E Entertainment, and had to make some books happen!"
Store hours are Monday 11-7, Tuesday through Saturday 10-7, and Sunday 11-5. Open every day except July 4th, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year's.

" The Tea Party is WE THE PEOPLE. This article is typical lamestreammedia pablum. Your adoration for the muslim usurper BO is dripping from every word."
Enter some GOP mole, grab a purse, point to a &%#$# Dem, or even Obama, my Yokohoma Momma, and yell 'thief, theif'!
Hey Anon, your wife left her toothbrush at my place.
