ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Old Fox Books & Coffehouse in Annapolis is homey and quiet. Connected to a coffee shop and housed in an old building, its walls are a bright blue, the floor is wood, and there is a huge red rug in the center. It’s the type of place that could very well serve as a setting for some cheesy romantic comedy, where the guy stumbles upon the girl, or the girl walks into the guy as they reach out to grab the same obscure mid-20th-century French novel they’re both there to purchase.
