Jacob Van De WeertJanuary 11, 2015Don't be fooled by the small storefront. The store is actually pretty spacious and has a decently sized collection.- Ashley MowreyMay 11, 2015Lots of discounted books. The isles are narrow and the selection is very limited, but it's a small bookstore, so you shouldn't expect more
Be sure to get their frequent buyer card. Buy 10 books, get the average price of this 10 discounted from your 11th.
Aiah WiederOctober 25, 2011Chain-store selection, independent soul! Best of both worlds, great staff picks.
