A magical bookstore with a great layout that feels endless. Shelves go to the ceiling, and it seems like you could find just about anything you could want from this bookstore. New, used, special editions, unique books, etc. Love the upstairs walkway open to the children’s section below, makes for a very unique store design. Was so excited to see a shelf with many blind date with a book options. I picked one up as well as a fun book about cooking with potatoes. Will definitely visit again next time I’m in the area!

Excellent bookstore, lots and lots of books! Great, friendly service. We stopped for records, ended up with a bag full of books. The record selection was good, there are some upstairs and downstairs, but the book selection is outstanding. Very well organized. Could spend hours in there. If you’re interested in cookbooks, as I am, there is a large selection. Street parking is a bit difficult, though there’s a paid garage nearby.

Amazing book store down town. It's so spacious and big. It has 3 whole floors! Definitely gives vintage vibes. So many books, records, manga, CDs, etc. There is so much variety and the staff are super helpful, friendly, and nice. Highly recommend a visit especially if you're already in the area for brunch or coffee. Walked out with two books and will be back. Honestly, I could spend all day at tgis store and it still wouldn't be enough. Support local book stores!
