I found this bookstore in November when we were there, and I wanted to visit again this past August. I love how small and organized it is, and the staff was very friendly and helpful both times. Each visit I purchased several books and enjoyed walking around looking at all the children's books that are classics! This will be a normal part of our visits each time we come down there. The prices are very reasonable, and they have a cart of books on sale on the porch. You also get a free bookmark! It is a small GEM for this area! Glad to have read it has been around a long time!

A beautiful little bookstore with a surprisingly large - and excellently chosen - selection of books. Two stories packed to the rafters of all genres. Lovely place, beautiful setting, wonderful staff. A little treasure.

The absolute cutest bookstore! So many great little gifts/stationary as well. Purchased several cards and stickers, including some by local artists. Will be back!
