Not all indie book stores are snobbish. The ones that seem to have the best attitudes in my opinion are the ones that bill themselves as second hand or used book stores. The various indie book stores I've been to, the used bookstores always seemed to have employees that were genuinely interested in that sort of thing, and would try to be helpful to their customers. There is one over by where my girlfriend used to live, that I really wish was closer to where we are now. The people were really awesome. I went in just browsing, only a book or two in mind to try and find, and I walked out with a stack and a smile on my face.
