    I was driving down the road and 100% U-turned when I realized I almost missed this MASSIVE…read morebookstore ! If you like adventures, books, and finding treasures in piles you will love this spot Parking: There's plenty of parking and when I stopped by at about 530pm on a Thursday there was only 1 other person there Selection: The selection is huge ! From kids books to vintage and everything in between. They even have comic books. There are several rooms to explore and the books are literally floor to ceiling Some areas are overwhelmed with stacks of boxes of books which is fun, but not always ideal (especially the stacks at the front when you enter- it's a bit chaotic) Prices: Prices are very reasonable (at least in the few books I looked at ) Unfortunately I didn't stay long because their AC was out making it too hot for me personally to stay in there. They said they had it scheduled to be repaired so I'll need to make another trip to really deep dive into this treasure trove

    I stumbled across this "Jem" of a bookstore yesterday, searching for one book in particular. This…read morewas my fifth and final stop in my hunt for this book I was literally about to give up. I was so excited when I actually found the book I was looking for and ended up walking out with that book +6 others that I couldn't leave the store without lol. The sweet lady who owns the store was very friendly and helpful. From now on this store will be my first stop when I'm hunting for a book!

    Hidden gem does not begin to describe what feels part House of Poe and the most curated book lovers…read moredream. I only had a few minutes between obligations but will be back with the husband!! Thank you to the Houston bookstore crawl avoiding me in this lovely direction.

    I went in with my friend about 15 minutes before closing asking if they had a hardcover of Lolita…read moreby Nabokov. I went inside and wasnt greeted by the owner at all. I noticed his hearing aids and so raised my voice when asking if he had a copy of Lolita. He asked me to repeat myself so I repeated myself whilst signing the name Lolita in ASL. He very rudley went to a nearby shelf, and took a book saying that this copy is hard to find and had never been opened before. I gently opened it and asked the price before he said it would be a couple hundred, so I put it back to continue looking around the store. I'm accustomed to book collecting and understand that prices on collectors addition items can be higher than expected so this didnt bother me at all. I was however bothered by his rude remark saying "ugh, well its been opened now" under his breath. I then went to the back of the store to look at the rest of their inventory which I must say is very nice and filled out. I didnt find anything else that interested me so I went to leave and told him to have a nice day, in response the owner rolled his eyes and said sure. I didnt particularly feel strongly about the interaction until my friend who's white pointed out how he treated me rudley whilst being kinder to her (I'm black and queer.) My friend and I then went and left reviews talking about my experience saying there was a good collection of books but that the owner was rude. The owner then responded saying I rudley came in late and "cracked the book open hard enough to hear the spine crack" which I have a hard time believing seeing I didn't fully open the book, and even if I did, like I stated before the owner is hard of hearing and couldnt even hear me talking at him from across the room. On top of that, the owner claimed that his invetory was simply "above my pay grade" which is incredibly microagressive and insensitive to say to someone who you don't know. I'd also like to point out that all the low reviews of this store complain of the owners unkind nature and seem to come from all people of color, making me believe that the owner is predjudice against POC. I was really excited to experience a store with such a nice collection, but I clearly am not welcome here
