1. Because it’s the only bookstore we know in these parts that’s housed in a VW van.
2. Because inside that VW van is a really enticing daybed.
3. Because of the books, of course.
4. Because of the giant crazy cat princesses guarding the premises, and made by bookstore owner Plet Bolipata. That’s her in the photo.
5. Because, if you’re a fan of Plet’s husband, the artist Elmer Borlongan, know that the souvenir shirt was designed by him.
