This place is wonderful! So many cute gift ideas, toys, puzzles, books. The staff is so kind and helpful and they gift wrap for free. This store has a great nostalgic feel. Highly recommend.

This place has something for everyone, if they are the hard to buy for person or someone that likes that unique and unusual gift. I really like this place with its very friendly and helpful staff you can’t go wrong. They even gift wrap! I would definitely recommend this establishment.

Great place. Came into town from 2 hours away. As soon as we got into the store the owner told us of a big book sale going on at the Public Library a block away and that it was closing in 30 minutes if we wanted to catch it first. Blew me away that she did this. Very much appreciated. Will definitely be back.

I spent a very long time in here Christmas shopping and filled half my list before leaving. I can definitely attest to the staff being most friendly and helpful. They even gift wrapped free of charge. A large inventory of used book in a variety of genres. Also a nice inventory of coloring books, puzzles, new books and other good stuff. Definitely a unique place and I'll be back.

We were looking for a Borders or Barnes and Nobles to look at healthy cookbooks. I have lots of cookbooks, but healthy ones i have 2 and ive used a lot of the recipes. This store is big. It has used and new books, puzzles, gifts, reading related posters, cups, book bags, etc. They have a dollar section of books with good titles. So glad i found this store idk how much i would have spent on the books if i ended up buying them at regular prices.
