Air-conditioned! Thankfully, considering the intense heat on this side of FL…read more Good stock - a good selection of new and used books and vinyl. Definitely have everything a new collector might want but may not have the deep cuts a long-time collector (like me) would be looking to purchase. Prices - a tad high. But I expected that considering I'm in a metropolitan area. Their rent is probably super high, but I don't mind paying an extra $2-3 per book to keep an independent store open. Regarding those deep cuts: - I did find some authors that I think are often overlooked, including Richard K. Morgan, Chuck Tingle, and Ann Leckie. - I was saddened to see that there was no Ronald Malfi in stock, which I find to be a mainstay in horror. - There was no Between the Buried and Me vinyl in stock, which saddens me due to concert tonight (that's why I drove all the way to this coast). Rating - 4.2/5.0

It was so nice inside, checking out all the books while we waited for our drinks. We got an iced…read morestrawberry matcha and an iced blueberry matcha. They were perfect with the rainy weather. It could've used a little more flavor, but the matcha was consistent with no clumps.

Other than that I really enjoyed their selection and how everything was nicely categorized. The owner greeted us warmly and tried to see what kind of books I was into so that he could intentionally steer me around his shop, I appreciated it because I only had about 30 mins to peruse. I ended up buying 2 herbal books for a very fair price, he actually told me the prices on the books weren't set in stone. The whole thing was delightful, him and his wife even gave me a locally owned restaurant recommendation.

What can you say about a used bookstore? Every person was helpful. It's in a warehouse and there…read moreare a lot of books. I personally found 6 books I couldn't find anywhere else.

For my money, this is the best place to get college text books in the area, although the only…read moreothers I know of are the on campus bookstores at USF and HCC and Gray's Books which is near this place. Books and More is smaller than the others, and provides a more personalized experience. The prices seems to be either comparative or cheaper than the other places, but that's hard to judge considering the nominal number of books I, as one person, have had an opportunity to price there. Aside from the text books, they usually have a small, but choice, selection of used novels and non-fiction books on hand. These are very cheap compared to cover price, and if you go at the right time you can find some really interesting things for a steal. They also carry used music CDs, stationary, and other odds and ends for college students. Overall, a great place that is much more rewarding to support with my hard earned loan money than the bigger, more coporate alternatives.

I had a desperate need for a local gift for a friend and The Far Forest was my last hope. And if…read moreyou've spotted my five stars... spoiler alert... I found exactly what I needed and more. A coffee table book of artworks in Ybor City for my friend who loves the area. In great condition and reasonably priced. Awesome. And then I spotted two science fiction books for me that are going onto my shelves. I also bought a bookplate that was in a display at the counter. Eek, $15. But worth it to customize my gift which the very nice young lady put into a bag with some tissue paper to make "gift". Awesome service. Fabulous stuff and that's just the books. There's also all sorts of other vintage and unique antique items on sale. Definite opportunity for gifts and light decor. [Round number review 15800 overall - 1380 in Florida - 1304 of 2021.]

I've been into the shop a couple times; the first time was in their opening week. The owner (I'm…read morenot sure of her name) is so friendly and really loves her collection. This past Shop Small Saturday, I visited with 4 other people and her shop was (safely) bustling. I found a record for $1 outside and I did not have any cash - instead of having me use my card for a buck, she gave me the record for free. These types of small things make people come back and bring other people with them. This is a gem of a store (located just a couple blocks from where I used to live) in Seminole Heights. Check it out and spend some time finding some cool vintage treasures like books, records and furniture.

Wow, there's a reason why this place is so popular even with food…read more We tried walking in on Friday at 1:30 and it was packed. We got reservations for Tuesday noon on the day of and it was much freer. The food is so good. I got grits without the cheese because of stomach issues, and it was still so flavorful. The omelette was fluffy, and my companions really enjoyed the club sandwich, but the steak sandwich less so. The potatoes and toast were good too along with sweet potato fries. The regular fries was apparently not as good. The french toast wasn't bad but had better elsewhere. I also got the ginger pear and it is very floral and flavorful. I'd get this again.

I was really disappointed by my experience recently because I had actually recommended this…read morerestaurant to the other guests with me, who had never been before. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich with an over-hard egg, while another guest ordered the same sandwich with an over-easy egg. When our food arrived, the over-easy sandwich was correct, but the sandwich placed in front of me had an over-medium egg with a runny yolk instead of the over-hard egg I specifically requested. I always make a point to clearly ask for a fully cooked egg because I cannot tolerate runny yolks. I politely called our waitress over and explained what had happened. I told her that the sandwich in front of me belonged to the other guest, and that the sandwich they had received appeared to have been intended as mine, except the egg was still runny and wasn't cooked over hard as ordered. Rather than listening to my concern, she responded in a very condescending manner and insisted the order was correct and that we simply needed to switch plates. I explained that switching plates would not solve the actual issue--the egg itself had not been cooked as ordered. She eventually took my sandwich back to have it remade, but after that interaction she rarely checked back on our table for the remainder of the meal and seemed to avoid us entirely. I never raised my voice or made a scene; I simply wanted the food I ordered prepared correctly. Mistakes happen in any restaurant, and I am completely understanding of that. What was most disappointing wasn't the kitchen error, it was the dismissive response to a reasonable request and the lack of service afterward. Since I had spoken so highly of this restaurant beforehand, it was embarrassing to have my guests experience this as their first visit.
