I enjoy Snobbie's blog and liked his first book a lot. By the time I read his second book I felt i was just re-reading the blog and the first book; can't remember if I finished it...

That sounds like a really cool shop. The ones around here are too small for that kind of diversity; though the one across the street from where I work has a deep and wide selection of vintage "junk" small parts and a guy who's been there forever and will take the time to dig through and find what I need - usually free of charge! I've never actually bought a bike from them (duh - they don't sell vintage bikes), but I make sure I get things like tubes, tire levers, a wheel set, etc every now and then.
