How much pickles would a bookstore sell if a bookstore could sell pickles? Devin and Andy visit and review Sweet Pickle Books, a used bookstore on Manhattan’s Lower East Side that also stocks pickles. Can a store cater to your cultural touchstones too precisely? Are used books inherently countercultural? How does merch fit into the bookstore experience? What psychology is at work on the Pay What You Wish shelf? Are the pickles good?? How do they compare to The Pickle Guys around the corner?
