A nice selection of books and small gifts. The owner was very knowledgeable but not the most welcoming guy.

Wonderful local bookshop! Great selection of books, & puzzles. If you can't find what you're looking for, the owner can order it for you. Best part, is the store cat!

Great little store and an even better owner. Thanks for the random conversation. The book selection is impeccable!

A simple library, but it has valuable books, puzzles and children's games. I liked it.

I visit here every couple weeks to support a local bookstore and roam. I love the selection and quarter cart days. The owner is a very sweet man, he also is very knowledgeable. It’s such a cute independent bookstore in the borough. They also have a cute cat ❤️
