Reached out because I saw a book listed by them online, and was hoping to save on shipping costs. Ended up picking up a handful of other related (and hard-to-find) books. Lisa was so nice and helpful, and the store is one you could easily get lost in for hours. It's a little tricky to find, but there are plenty of comments here on how to get there.

Great bookshop! Built inside of a house. Great service and very kind.

Ordered a book from Abstract. The book arrived well in advance of the suggested delivery date. It was exactly as described. My book was perfectly wrapped and packaged, I've never seen a more carefully-prepared delivery. I'll be back.
