Books and cats!!! Perfect combination. It is a big place with a great variety of books, specially if you are a science fiction fan, and prices for all pockets. The cats are a huge plus. The staff is friendly.

Terrific, old-school bookshop teaming with both books and cats. I’m a crime fiction fan and the mystery section is an absolute gem. Loads of older volumes from some of my favorite authors. So glad I stopped in.

The staff was very friendly and helpful! They had a variety of different books. My favorite is mytholog, and I was able to get a coupl of books, which was impressive! It's very clean and organized. The cats were absolutelyadorable -- it was nice to have them walk by or come say hello while looking at the different books! I wish I had taken more pictures. I highly recommend stopping in and checking it out ♡

Wonderful used bookstore, complete with (at the time, 6!) rescue cats who prowl around the store. The selection of used fiction and SF/F is quite enormous, and they’ve got a huge selection of older titles! Also, the cats are just adorable and worth petting
