This bookstore is welcoming and easy to get lost in. Along with selling books their third floor hosts different community gatherings making it a welcoming third space. They host game nights, allow The silent Book Club to meet there, and other community clubs. This is an all ages welcome environment. The workers are kind and helpful. The owner is thoughtful and ridiculously gracious. This bookstore definitely has a bigger on the inside feel and a phenomenal selection.

The bookstore offers an outstanding selection of books, which on its own would merit a five-star rating. However, customer service is an essential part of the overall experience. During my visit, I waited several minutes at the counter to complete a purchase without acknowledgment or eye contact, creating the clear impression that my presence was an inconvenience. This lack of basic customer engagement significantly detracted from an otherwise strong offering.

Really good selection and friendly. They cater to everyone and have a lot of quirky interesting finds. Sci fi paperbacks from 70s, anthologies, coffee table books, plays and a large smattering of classics. The organization is coherent but there’s enough randomness so you feel you will be rewarded for scouring both floors and I was.

It's a cool used bookstore with well defined sections and genres. Can be a great place for finding unique gifts--especially for historical or Shakespearean books. There are tons of fiction books but if you're looking for the newest books, this is not the place to go. They do have a decent collection of children's books as well. A great place to peruse when you do t have a specific book in mind. It's very quite in there, and when I've gone w chatty friends post brunch I always felt too loud.

Some very interesting finds here, and it's well organized to find what you want. If you're a delighter of deals, a purveyor of puny prices like myself, their bargain book section has books for as low as a dollar as well, though I bought some others for 8 to 9. In addition, additionally, as well, also: When checking out the person working there recommended, due on my history / social studies interest based on the books I was buying, that I check out some that they recently brought in and I in fact DID want to purchase one of them. And got a great deal on it. Always a treat going to book stores like this who truly cares about the books they sell and the readers they sell them to.
