Argos Book Shop

Grading scale is 4P's. 1 star is mandatory. Then 1 star rewarded for Parking, Picks, Prices, People. Parking: on street parking. When we were there it was Tuesday evening so not terribly busy. But if town is busy. Parking is a nightmare. Loss of 1 star. Picks: Decent selection of comics, used books fit my niche, but I can see how some people may find it lacking. Nice smattering of cards and collectibles. Prices: Beyond fair pricing. No issues here at all. Not deals by any means, but more than fair. People: Gentleman working the counter greeted us upon entry. Answered any questions we had, as well as made pleasant conversation. Above and beyond hospitable and matched the charm of the shop. Definite must visit.

Excellent curated variety of comic books and a vast variety of standard books. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Always a great visit!

This book store is like finding a diamond cut jewel in the rubble. The owner was knowledgeable about different vintage comic books my fiancé was looking to purchase. Just all around delightful visit away from my everyday busy life. Everything is so computerized nowadays it was a pleasure to feel the fabric and textures of the different books 📚

I’m very happy that this store now has an extensive LGBTQ+ section; thank you providing a consolidated space for that literature. However, the history sections for Native, Latin, and Black Americans is severely lacking. Not only are these sections out of sight on the bottom shelves, but rarely any are written by actual people of color or describe their histories accurately. The Race and Ethnic studies section has THREE books and is on a bottom shelf. The political science section mostly caters to conservative capitalists and supports US exceptionalism. This is not a book store but a breeding ground for ignorance. I think it would bring the owners a great joy to expand these sections and would combat what GR locals think about Eastown— an elitist hell hole.
