I was hoping for a few Sue Grafton books for my mom. I found that and a ton more…read more Stepping in to this store it's easy to imagine that we are a nation of readers. Every worker here seems to share a passion for books and the energy is infectious. I had to cut myself off, close my eyes, and slowly step away from the stacks. They also have some art and crafting supplies, paper goods, and vinyl. The prices are low and I think there might be some categories of people who qualify for discounts.

All at reasonable prices that won't kick the crap out of your wallet. The owner is a decent dude.

Do you remember the days when the only place to buy a book was a book store? This is like…read moreyesteryear. A place where time stands still. You can rummage through aisle after aisle of books upon books. See them, feel them and touch them before you buy. They have real live authors coming in for book signings. Yep, real people. They have a local author section. They also have knowledge about how to market a book. All these things are available in person! You must give them a try.

However, on my most recent visit I was *shocked* to see the same used cookbooks I bought a few months ago at $10/piece are now priced at $17.50! That's a 75% increase! I understand costs rise, but this seems extremely excessive. Used books that are 10-20 years old should not cost this much. I hope the store reconsiders its pricing so it remains accessible to the community that wants to support it. In the meantime, if you're looking to purchase used books at a more affordable price, I'd recommend going to betterworldbooks.com.
