Hey that sounds fun! I don't know if I have ever been to The Crystal Dove...I have not been in Alb in about 6 years. But New Age book stores, yes I would go in them when I found them,...and NM has quite a few. The one I remember most is in Santa Fe, just down the road from my grandma's house, its called The Ark Bookstore, perhaps you know it? It would be hard to locate though, becasue its basically a house converted into a book store, and its not on a main street, so you literally have to know about it or someone tell you about it, in which case, if you are ever in SF turn right off St Francis onto Manhattan Ave (which is just before you hit the Alameda intersection) and drive down to the end of Manhattan and take a left and you should see the sign (house is on the right), if they are still in business.
Its a great atmosphere, incense burning, meditative music playing, cats and dogs roaming about with serene looks, possibly birds there too I don't recall though. I remember I bought my Alister Crowley book there called The Book of Lies, full of pages of interesting poetry-like word play he wrote, deep in meaning.
Besides book they have crystals, music, jewelry and clothes too and other stuff I can't recall. I just remember going in there was very relaxing and like entering another dimensional reality.
