    It's kind of amazing I walked out of here without buying anything. RR #1 offers a lot of the tchotchkes you used to find at Uncle Fun. It's a great shop for prank gifts or weird stuff like funny greeting cards, goofy socks or edgy T-shirts. They've got candles. And old jewelry. And weird rubber tentacles you can put on your fingers. Employees were super friendly and one of them actually handed me a beer. Free beer while shopping? That's never happened before. My only criticisms of this place are super nitpicky. It's very, very crowded. RR #1 feels less like a store and more like the world's most curious garage sale. Also, prices were hard to find on some things. Yes, I could ask a salesperson, but I hate having to hide my shock when something is far more expensive than it should be. Be aware that when you walk to the end of the counter, there's another small room you can access if you kinda walk behind the counter and take a right. Lots of T-shirts back there. Other fun stuff, too. If you're looking for unique, quirky, one-of-a-kind gifts, THIS IS YOUR JAM. (Mustache, skull and bacon lovers will find tons of stuff worth buying.)

    All I want for Christmas is the Freddy Mercury print. Buy it for me and I'll love you long time. This is the one: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/y8fc3VzQbsl6kTQTQactOw?select=9AfCDei_IqqMfrc7DKau6Q The lighting is super-cool. I just bought a 50s pendant shade from Design Within Reach, and I knew I'd find something cooler the minute I hung it. That's right. And so much more. Damn, I miss Freddy...

    Cephalopod coasters. What more could you ask for?

There's things to help anyone learn this hard language. A lot of items typically found in a bookstore. It has books of course. There's most by Chinese authors, as well as others that have been translated from other languages. A few are also in English. There's also magazines about culture and travel. Good if planning a trip to China. There's also gifts such as toys. Have to make an update about this business. It seems to have closed the physical location. This has turned into a store with clothes but you can still order from the website.

I've also gotten my parent's travel books to Australia here, and books for Christmas. They have a big selection of books and they also have CDs, and other trinkets here. They take credit cards, but are very reluctant to take them here. It's like she increases the minimum amount every single time. I guess I'd come prepared by bringing cash here. Sometimes they have their son working here who can speak some English, which is better than the other bookstore in Chinatown. I guess it forces me to practice the little Mandarin I remember.

The selection is not too bad, considering they are recovering from a flood. There are so many titles and a vast array of topics available. I found some classics, fiction, a wonderful selection in their non-fiction area, and translated books. They also provide you with lists of books that have won prizes or coincide with different regions in the USA and the world! I thought that was very helpful. It's a medium-sized store, but their displays are quite prominent. Everything is easy to grab (no ladders or staff needed to get to the high books). All the areas are labeled and it's visually pleasing. The staff was nice, too. Checkout was easy and they were friendly. Prices are standard of paperbacks and hardcovers. You are paying for an indie bookseller (I paid about $40 for two books, which includes tax). I wasn't at all disappointed with the price. They also have a loyalty program for those that are regulars. I really am happy I checked out this spot. It was beautiful and friendly. There was a lot of books and totes to chose from, it was hard not to leave with more in my bag!
