I didn't see any used books mixed into where I was looking, which meant all prices were normal for a new bookstore. Overall a wonderful visit and a great local bookstore!

I ended up grabbing a few, plus a fun magnet, and they also had a couple local art prints. The inside is super charming, a cozy, feel-good stop whether you're looking for a new read or just a small souvenir.

Why hasn't changed is that this store is awesome and well worth a visit when you're in town. Kari Meutsch and Kristian Preylowski bought the shop in 2017 and expanded its physical footprint. They've added some products (LPs) and expanded their selection of others. And their website offers a variety of options for ordering that are very useful. Mostly, though, this is a great shop to browse, with knowledgeable staff who can help you find what you might want if you don't know for sure. Highly recommended!
