Great selection, You can sit down and read some of the books in there. They have a little coffee machine if you want to get some to drink. All around pleasant experience.

This store was highly recommended on our tour of Pittsburgh and I can see why. The posted hours do seem to be a bit of a suggestion, but the selection was excellent and varied.
