We happened upon a description of Papers! online which very nicely describes this store:

"Papers! is the kind of stationery store where all of a sudden you must have everything in sight.  They specialize in the delicious scribble and everything that goes with it.  Explore aisles and walls devoted to rubber stamps and inks for creating cards.  Contain yourself, but there are boxes of every shape and size.  One wall in Papers! is covered in paper - wrapping paper that is, by the sheet, in every design and color on the color wheel.  There are unique cards, origami sets, photo journals and lampshades, all devoted to the love of paper and the art of writing.  Need a calligraphy set?  Find it here.  There are also beautiful books, writing card sets, decorator pieces and other gifts for those in love with the art of paper and scribbling..........This is a hip little store that packs a whole lot into a tiny space."
