It is certainly difficult for me to give a bookstore anything less than five stars…read more It is certainly NOT the proximity to a great coffee shop where one could enjoy a hot beverage while perusing the books you snagged. It is certainly NOT the prices of the used books which are priced completely fair. It is certainly NOT the service which is friendly and helpful. It is the inventory. Specifically, the organization of the inventory, just grinds on me a little. I have to prepare myself to look AT books instead of FOR books. This is largely due to the number of books on the floor. The stacks and organization means I am happiest when I go in with the idea that I will peruse the books for things I am interested in. If that is my mentality, I also leave with a couple books I am excited to read. If I go in looking for a particular author or book, it's sort of a toss up whether I will leave satisfied.
