Small but mighty, is how I describe this lovely bookstore. It's filled with a great selection of literature that includes new best sellers and a really solid travel section. There's a children's section and a cafe attached too. We recently picked up a lovely Phaidon book on architecture recently while in. It was a great choice for us. The staff are warm and friendly. They also offer a rewards program. They'll order books for you, too! See website for hours and location. Parking available. read more

Great selection of books. The bookseller was charming, and full of suggestions. Went I in to get out of the heat and walked out with great reads. Coffee shop adjacent, but it had already closed. It looked really cute, with a nice menu. I will go back! read more

My first time using them and they're absolutely incredible! I bought a DnD themed cocktail book as a gift for my roommate's bday. I figured it'd ship in some type of clear bag for protection from the elements so I requested they pack it so the item wasn't visible. They gift wrapped it at no extra cost and packed it in an appropriately sized cardboard box. Amazing service. I've several other such gifts for various other friends so I'll be certain to buy from Righton again! read more
