Not a great selection in the fiction category but lots and lots of obscure stuff here that is worth checking out, especially if one is into literary criticism.

There is an exceptional collection of Kentucky and local history books. Space is tight, so volumes are not displayed as well as they could be. Allocate plenty of time to dig through the stacks. Lighting is dim -- bring a flashlight. Prices are market range. No real bargains, but no gouging either.

A gem of a bookstore! I’m so happy this place is here. (Especially with genuine bookstores becoming a dying breed) The owners are wonderful and knowledgeable and it was an absolute pleasure looking through the shelves of rare and unique titles. I found some great treasures for my library at fair prices. Can’t wait to visit again.

This is what a book-lover's dream house would look like. There are SO MANY books for you to browse here! The staff were really polite as well, and the prices weren't too expensive all things considered. This is an excellent place to find old and rare books. Many, many interesting titles to explore.
