The absolute best, most magical bookstore in the world. I no longer live in Texas and miss knowing that I could come here any time I please without much issue. Truly one of my favourite places, I treasure this bookstore very much, it is a credit to its proprietors that I will carry the happy memories I have made here wherever I go for the rest of my days.
Truthfully THE best place to be if your goal is to be utterly engulfed by books. Books of every author, genre, and age call this little shop home. Please budget several hours for your visit - I promise that you’ll have a wonderful time getting lost in this floor-to-ceiling maze of books.
If old book stores are your thing, you may love this place. It was not my cup of tea. It smelled of old books and there was no discernible organization. If you ask the sole employee, she can point you to a section, but nothing is alphabetized by author or title so finding what you're looking for is a job. The shelves do not seem to be safely secured in any way and some of the shelves will literally fall on you or allow books to fall on you.
I absolutely love coming here, the selection is so wide. For me I love the old medical books it’s a rare to find some this old. I have spent hours on occasions just browsing.
This place is a never ending maze of books from floor to ceilings! As chaotic as it seems at first glance it it very organized. They have different books with seats to read or hang out. A pretty big children's section as well. They take cash and card including tap like apple and Google pay.
