Cozy, well curated little book shop with an entrance from the outside and another from the interior hallways of the office building. In addition to their regular collection the so has a side room of rare books, where romantically the songs of singing from the cafe next door drift in. A great book store is a credit to the community that supports it. There is free parking in the area between the office buildings and on nearby streets.

I saw this book store along my walking route so I had to come in. It is a cozy books story with plenty of used, vintage, and rare books. They had a jar of vintage matchboxes if you have that very specific interest! The books in the outside of the store are on sale!

This is hands-down the best used bookstore in Austin! I’ve had the chance to meet the owner, Seth, while browsing and his background and expertise in book collecting is so strongly reflected in this special shop. From the classics to natural science, children’s books, fiction, and, honestly, every genre you can imagine. And my personal favorite…a rare book room filled with first editions and hard-to-find titles. You can tell each book is chosen with so much care, beautifully displayed, and super organized, making it a joy to browse. Every time I go, I leave with something special. The prices are very fair, and they keep the inventory fresh, so there’s always something new. Seth and his staff are so friendly, too. It’s one of those places that just feels like home and has quickly become a favorite spot of mine. Parking is easy, with a small lot out front and plenty of street parking. Local tip: Once you’re done shopping, head next door to New World Deli for lunch…or grab coffee down the road at Terrible Love Coffee!

Great spot for vintage and special book finds. The store is set up with a lot of intention, the staff is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk with. Found two books that I didn’t know of before and I can’t wait to read them. They also have a rare books room for collectors!
