My daughters and I spent so much time looking around. It was a lot of fun! It was honestly like a mini powells books. We left with a stack of books. We will definitely be back.

I really liked this neighborhood book store. It is a bit crowed. But the staff was fantastic!

Great bookstore with piles of books floor to ceiling. Friendly and helpful employees. Only thing missing is a shop cat.

Friendly staff, and helpful. Books are kept in somewhat distinct sections but are not shelved in any noticeable order (author name, title, number) so it involves quite a bit of staring and scanning book spines to find what you might be looking for. On the other hand, this arrangement can lead to serendipitous finds. Not as broad a selection as other bookstores, but perhaps more depth in specific genres than even the big boxes like Powell's.
