I cannot emphasize how wonderful this place is. Debbie and her co-owner are so friendly and helpful. The architecture and inside are amazing. The selection is phenomenal and carry unusual or hard to find genres and topics. Walk in with 10 bucks and some curiosity and walk out with new book along with some relaxation.

The lady who works there was very helpful and helped me find three used books that I wanted. Great selections of first and second hand books. Cozy atmosphere - there are so many books! Not cheap but not crazy expensive.
