I love this bookstore, every time I have been there is an excellent selection. Recently brought books in to exchange for credit, and I was happy with the rate I had! And the store owner is very welcoming and friendly. They also play excellent music.

This Bookstore is in the perfect location. Always a good selection of fiction and non-fiction used well kept books. Most of the Topics have well stocked shelves. If you can't find the book you're looking for ask Julie(owner) she will do her best for you. All of the books are in good condition, very reasonably priced as well as a Discount program. I have never left this store unsatisfied always with a book or two under my arm that I purchased.
