where a two-hour car trip is a short ride. It's clear that a need cries out for a bookstore within the city, close to neighborhoods and open on weekends.(I'm excluding the fine independents Penguin Books in Sewickley and Mystery Lovers in Oakmont because they are well outside Pittsburgh. I don't mean to slight them.)
