Reviews
Really nice place to check out and find a new read. They offer a variety of different authors and genres, and feature both new releases as well as all time classics. On the downside it is kind of small, so they might not have every book you're looking for. Still a very nice place to buy a book, in a very nice part of the city.

Interesting book store that stocks books you wouldn't find in a Barnes and Noble. Apparently they focus on reliable Publishers so you can embrace the randomness and pick up something random and see if it's good. They also have a good collector's corners with first editions and such.

A fair selection of used books, but not much fantasy, science fiction, or graphic novels. A decent selection of children's books. The prices are on the high side. Good air conditioning and plenty of chairs to relax in.

Wonderful, cozy bookstore with offerings that encourage you to venture outside your comfort zone.
