Absolutely loved this shop. Their online Etsy and eBay are fantastic so I was really excited to visit the shop in person, and I was in heaven. Well curated, most books in great shape and EXTREMELY fair prices. Todd was an absolute joy to talk to. Can’t recommend enough

The owner, Todd is very welcoming and friendly. He's happy to help guide you to whatever you are looking for. I've been searching for older sci-fi and fantasy books for years and this is the place that had any of them. A great collection to browse through.

This is the place for curated, quality books at the absolute best prices. Todd, the owner, is so likeable. The dollar paperbacks section is restocked frequently with many, many gems.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this store. The first time I walked in I was amazed to find the place surrounded by shelves that reach the ceiling. They are all paper backs but from different eras with so many cool covers I’ve never seen. I’ve learned so much and discovered I really like space fiction from the 70’s. The prices are very fair and the best part is the owner Todd. He has become a great friend to me and he’s so nice, down to earth, eager to help, positive; and really cares about everyone who walks in. He enjoys helping you find an author or books or just chatting.
