Reviews

I like this book store. They have some out of print books and some others that you could possibly only find on Amazon. Its a local bookstore so you'll have to just go in and look. I think itd make a great date night that id have with a nerdy girl that like me.

This is a bookstore really a library where you can find anything you are looking for and if Glen does not have it, he most of the time can get it for you. I love this bookstore and you will too.

This is taken from my yelp account as of 6/24/15 however, people tend to use google reviews more often so I'm deciding to repost my review here. Also, my thoughts have not changed and time has not changed anything either. I went here again this past summer and the man acted the same as he did previously. Such instances include the time when my family and I were walking over to look at a table of books; and he told us "this is my storage area" even though there was no wall or curtain to cover up this "storage". Plus, the whole time after/ before this we just felt unwanted and pressured to leave. Anyways, here is the exact copy and paste from my yelp review: 

Okay, I'm creating this yelp account just to write this review.. (TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE)

I came in with my brother, the man asked me if I was looking for anything in particular, I responded with "no, just browsing today, but if I need any help I'll let you know" . My brother asked him if there were any comics and he showed him to the comics

I smelled some of the teas and saw old Shakespeare and tons of bibles and I was really starting to like the place 

First impression was it was an awesome bookstore with used, cool books

My brother and I split off, and he comes back to me and tells me that they really don't seem to care about comics and they seem to just buy anything because they were laid out well (some were upside down) and they weren't sorted by character/ alphabetized under their company, they were only sorted by their company which made it difficult to find what he wanted

He goes back to the table as I look at different philosophies and picks up something he thinks he might like, the encyclopedia of urban legends, the man quickly tells him "that book is not for sale" 

 .. Why would the book be out if it wasn't for sale(??)

So I decide to browse some more and look around, I eventually get down on my knees to look at a book that talks about the philosophy of language.. It seemed really interesting, so I sat down and was considering purchasing the book, and I decided to read a little bit of it and flip around to see if I should buy it and I saw there were some things written in pen about the previous reader's own philosophy, it was really unique. A few seconds later the worker (man with white hair) came walking around and told me "you can't just sit around reading our books, they are for sale" it shocked me and I put away the book in shame.. 

So I decided to move on, frustrated, and I saw some other things that interested me, he kept constantly asking me if I needed anything in particular but I kept insisting I was browsing, which I was, he then told me "you should leave if you're not going to get anything" (I was planning on it up until that point) and asked me "are you waiting on anybody?" (Like geez can you leave me alone) "no" , I replied , "just browsing" .. Frustrated and angered, I left, and left the mall entirely.. And here I am writing this review

I'll never go back again, I won't buy anything from him, he doesn't deserve my money

I love the store. The man by the tea counter was very helpful and kind. We bought some books, some natural things by the front window. And never felt like we had to rush out. The price is very good. And the tea is yummy. I got the chocolate earl gray
