It has a really cool homey feel. You can peruse through the records or pull out a few and listen to them. Older funk and R&B like Cameo, Tower of Power and a Prince section! Blondie, Bob Marley and some old school rap in the racks as well. I guess you'd say a very eclectic place if this is what you are into. I'd go back just to see what new art is in the back gallery. Enjoy!

I liked how the comic books, graphic novels, manga, 'zines, and other ephemera are displayed. There is something that would appeal to various ages. Nicely organized - I especially liked the Eisner Award nominees and the 'zines sections. The person that was at the main counter was welcoming and offered any assistance, if needed. I ended up having a nice chat about indie comic book shops and Small Press Expo. Pleasant surprise and worthy detour!

Having a music shop right downstairs makes this a potential heaven for our family. That being said, after several visits and plenty of money spent, I can say it's not a fluke that the people working there are checked out and often straight-up unfriendly. We actively seek this place out to spend our money, but have ended up feeling pretty meh walking out the last few times. We'll likely only give it another try or two because the owner of the record store was super kind, and because we love graphic novels. Maggie Mae's, Literary Arts, Spoke and Word, and Rose CIty Books will get even more of our business if we continue to feel like we've done something wrong by being there.

The book selection was pretty good not comparable to places like Powells though who have a way larger selection. If those spots overwhelm you because of all the choices then this would be a better spot. I got a softcover for 18.99$. They do have a punchcard though where if you get 12 books your 13th is free.

The store is cute itself but having someone with that excitement and knowledge makes you want to come back. Overall review: Very cute children's bookstore with fun creative displays.
