Great selection - I'd been to 6-8 bookstores in the last month looking for Ian M. Banks books without find a single one. White Dwarf had ten. Lots of great anthologies, new books, and huge selection of mass-market scifi/fantasy paperbacks.

Absolutely fantastic bookstore for SciFi and Fantasy. The owners are super nice, with a cute dog, and they seem to know where every book is. It also seems like they’ve read every single book in the store! The woman behind the counter has twice given me some wonderful suggestions after hearing what authors I’d enjoyed. And as a bonus, they’ve even got a secret bookshelf door. :)

Saw this place and decided to check it out. Always loved small book stores especially fantasy ones. Nice little place with interesting selections in Fantasy and Fiction books. Very clean and organized with a very nice and friendly owner.

If you like sci-fi or Fantasy then it is a great store. Not many new books but absolutely awesome for finding harder to find older books in original covers.

I love this place! They have the best selection of mass market paperbacks, which are getting harder to find everywhere else. The friendly dog is a great bonus!
