best bookstore on the island!! highly recommend dropping by even just to look around. there’s a large and unique selection of children’s books, fantasy, sci-fi, and US history. greatly appreciate that the staff inspected each book at checkout and applied a discount for very small damage to a book (that i didn’t even notice!) also love the discounts on the top 10 monthly NYT bestsellers 🙌

This is a store for book lovers of all ages. This is an adventure. An experience. New, used, foreign books all bustle together on filled shelves and boxes everywhere. You might start looking for an easy read for the beach, and end up flicking through biographies of long forgotten people. Time has passed. Your brain is buzzing. It’s a literary heaven.

I think it’s one of the most fabulous bookstores on the island of Oahu. You’d be hard-pressed to not find a book in the subject you were seeking. Rare books can be found here. Considering how their large inventory is, the store is well organized. They are friendly and helpful. Oh and there’s ample parking.
