Cute little used bookstore, refuge from the craziness just outside. Friendly, helpful staff. Been twice, will definitely be back. They've got a great selection and everything is well organized into categories. Found Lord of the Rings quickly!

THIS LOCATION HAS CLOSED. :-( THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW SITE. Impressive selection of media. Good cause that they support.

Great bookstore that is non-profit and supports local education and literacy initiatives. Has wonderful selection of used (donated) books, art, CDs, DVDs, etc. Closing for good after December 20, but will have pop-up locations around DC thereafter! Keep an ear out for a new permanent location in the future...

Hard to know if they're open. Can't call them. I want to go today but who knows if it will be a wasted trip.. Good otherwise.
