Great store, very friendly, nice selection of poetry, history, novels, sff, kids, and more. They will gladly order books, but I usually find a lot of cool stuff browsing
A wonderful little shop in the heart of the city. It's small, but not too small, with a very well-curated selection. The staff's nice, too, which is a bonus. I personally love that they have author readings/signings.
Don’t be dismayed by the smallish size of this bookstore: they have a superb selection. Found new, translated, and local author books grouped together for easy finding. Enjoyed talking with staff about what I’m reading and she offered recommendations.
They have a well curated selection. It's a very cozy book shop. I always find something great. If I'm looking for something in a general category, they're a great resource to guide me to some options. And if they don't have the exact book I'm looking for, they're always willing to help me find and order it. Highly recommend.
Great local bookstore! A lot of local authors have signed copies of their books there — including me! Head on down there to grab a copy of ARE YOU BORG NOW? while supplies last. Support independent bookstores!!
