    If you love books, this is the place to be! Check out the local authors display! If Stacey can't help you, I'm sure Morty can.

    The whole place is just so welcoming, and everyone was so helpful. Just going there brightened my spirits. I highly recommend it.

    BEST used book store in town! They have a whole FREE section of books, bookmarks, and stickers…read morewhich my son loves! Great vibe, great prices, and they offer an exchange program too! Friendly service. Saw a few groups of women playing ma jong, very neat

    This place seemed a little sketchy from the outside; there was a messy cart of "free books" that…read moreseemed abandoned. Upon entry the place was well lit and buzzing with excitement for the author who was doing a signing. I wasn't paying close attention and didn't realize what it was at first, but there was so much animated conversation that I assumed it was a book club that was really enjoying themselves. It made the recovery from the free book cart mess easy to recover from. The staff was all super friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to search for titles and authors I was looking for and were happy to add more books to my pile (*wink). The only downer was that the shelves had no obvious organization and it was hard to shop on your own. Nothing is labeled consistently and I couldn't tell where one section ended and another began. One section even had a pink sticky note with a hand-written label. The staff also didn't keep a proper inventory and half of books the computer said they had were no where to be found. Bottom line is that this place was welcoming and had good prices. They do not buy books but will offer in-store credit for books you no longer want. Check this place out.

    Customer service was polite. Huge store selling books, games, toys, art kits, candy…read more They also purchase these things. I dropped off few movie CDs, pack of Dale Erhardt cards. I really didn't expect much. However, I left my items and they gave me a receipt, and promised to text me when the evaluation was done. My ID was checked many times So they did text me. Since I wanted cash and no store credit I earned $1.97 instead of $3.54. What I learned from this is, that bartering might work for some people, if they are trading in things. This is not for me. Store was clean and well organized. Next time I will donate things.

    I usually come here to shop and decided to sell with them for their buyback program…read more I just have to suggest that if you are looking to get decent amount of anything for your items be aware that they do not give you a lot. I sold over 3 bins of items to them. Not only did they not state how long it would take but the girl checking me just to the buying was not very kind. She seemed annoyed to be there. Both me and my family member dropped off our items 6 minutes after they opened and made plans to do things in the area thinking it wouldn't take long. We were in the area for a good while and my family member received a text that their items were ready. I believed that mine would soon be done to follow. A few more hours passed and I still didn't get a text so I called in to check. I was extremely disappointed when I was told that my buy hadn't been started. They stated it was because they were busy. Although, when I questioned if they were busy how were they able to finish my family members buy so quickly. They didn't have a response for me other than they had other buys from the day before that they had to finish. I still don't understand how my family members stuff still got finished if that was the reason. When I asked how much longer it would take they couldn't give me an answer. I do not live close so this was extremely upsetting for me because if they had a lot left over from the day before it should've been stated when I dropped it off. About two hours before closing I got my text so I had to drive and pick up my stuff. Once I arrived I was told I was getting a very small amount for items that were in brand new condition or to get 50% more value if I chose store credit. I really wish they updated their system and valued the items at a higher price point and not such a drastic change from cash to store credit. I only came here and settled for the cash because I am clearing up space for a move. If you want what your items are valued don't ever come here.

    TL;DR - Abhorrent customer service, avoid if you can…read more Went this morning, and the following happened: 1.) Customer service lady at the check out area greeted folks behind me but ignored me. 2.) I was looking for a book and happened to ask another employee for help at the exact time that another elderly lady asked for help. I mentioned she could go first and was ignored by both. 3.) I went to the check out area for help, and while she was checking out, she was also speaking to another employee about random things like the Knick's game, being from New York, etc. etc. while I stood waiting to be helped. I walked around to waste time before returning after the cashier employee was finally free. She asked if I was ready to check out and I replied that I needed help with finding a book. She motioned towards the first employee I had asked help from, and I told her that he had been helping (and still was) an elderly lady for a while. She then told me that the other employee who was still talking to the customer about the Knicks could help. I stood around awkwardly while they continued to talk as it was obvious I was waiting for them to finish so I could ask a question (we were all standing about 5 feet from eachother). After standing for a few minutes, I was done. I returned the books I was ready to purchase back where they came from and proceeded towards the exit. At that point, the customer who had been talking to the employee about the Knicks was leaving, and the cashier lady grabbed the employee's attention by stating, "This young lady needed help with finding a book." I responded, "No, I don't need help, I'm done." and forcibly opened the door, walking out. I overheard the Knicks-obsesssed employee say "Oh my!" or something to that effect as I left. There are too many stores around here for me to pay money for being ignored. Go elsewhere, preferably independent.

    Went to grab a few books - I had already verified that they were in stock via the app. I found two…read moreof three, but couldn't find the third. I asked for assistance after three salespeople walked past me at customer service. The salesgirl looked at the same places I'd looked. When she asked her coworkers for help, they said no. Then she told me that her coworkers "aren't allowed to help her." I put the books I'd found back. I'll drive to a different store just to avoid this one.

    I've been coming to this wonderful, locally owned business for 30 years…read more They have all the things you're looking for: crystals, incense, books, jewelry, tarot decks, candler, herbs, Florida Water, wish paper, oils, holiday gifts, meditation bells, cards, and KITTIES! They have a few shop cats that are super cute and friendly. They do professional tarot and psychic readings here. They have multiple readers to choose from. They also have a lot of fun events. Look at their calendar to see what's coming up. I went to a tarot readers group years ago where we practiced reading for one another and that was a lot of fun! I hope to see many more years from this great store! Go check it out!

    My best friend lives in the area and I was in town visiting. She surprised me with a stop to…read morePhoenix & Dragon and it was so magical. The parking lot is on a kind of weird hill but there's plenty of parking spots. The front door of the store opens to a small lobby with a cashier/desk, but the store is actually very large. We were greeted at both the front entrance and when we were in the jewelry/rock room. This is called a bookstore but it's really much more. The selection of books is vast and niche at the same time. I picked up a little astrology book I'm very excited to get into. There is a huge and stunning wall of rocks and gems you can self-service with a variety of types, shapes, finishes and priced at a very accessible level. I picked out several different rocks from the wall. They also have jewelry, candles, accessories, I can't even begin to list everything available here. The best part is the store cats. They are beauty, they are grace and I love them. Also wonderful the Sagittarius that rang up my purchases. I can't wait to come back and visit with my best friend again! Thank you Phoenix & Dragon!
