Really cute book store with cats. Mostly came for them! Book selection was interesting and marked sort of randomly in small print. The top floor is worth wandering through.

Friendly, knowledgeable and all around awesome staff plus a great selection of books in a warm, inviting space - what's not to love! Oh, also - they have cats!

Amazing bookstore! I love the selection and that the staff provides recommendations. Ordering online and picking up in store is such a smooth process. I also love saying hi to Mylar and Page. The pics I’ve uploaded show them hanging out after hours. :)

Cool local book store with friendly resident cats. They were the highlight for me. The shop is kind of small, upstairs was better and where I was able to find some books that interested me - non fiction, music and art; essays, cookbooks and used fiction. Got some good views of Byrd Theater from the second floor too.

I love bookstores. Store is a lot bigger than it looks. Upstairs was filled with used books that were nicely sectioned and organized. They have a small kids section too. 2 cats roaming around as you’re browsing. Worth stopping in if you like reading/books. Some interesting and unique finds.
