    We had the opportunity to visit Urban Aftermath as part of a Yelp Elite Event and I couldn't be more pleased with our visit. We were greeted by the shop owner Hassan and he shared the story of the business which includes the storefront, a warehouse and online operation. The storefront is Hassan's curated space and what a space it is! Surrounded by gorgeous books there is also an eclectic mix of toys, office supplies ie old staplers, and vintage vinyl. Hassan had also been building a poetry reading series that unfortunately Covid has ruined for the time being but hopefully he can start it back up later this year. I found it such a great place and Hassan is a wealth of knowledge, able to recommend a new author or book. I highly recommend stopping in and we will definitely be back!

    I've gone more towards digital and audible books in my older age but can still appreciate a good…read moreold locally run used book store. My wife is more old school and took me by here on a friends recommendation and as I entered the space I was transported to my childhood when I didn't have an iPad and Amazon wasn't around. I remembered how my love of reading was nurtured in places like this where I discovered Zelazny and Tolkien and Moorcock for the first time. Where I discovered a love for all things science fiction in books like Lucifers Hammer and the Uplift Trilogy. Where I read about any subject I wanted from the history of the black death to the Occult writings of Crowley, Lavey, and Starhawk. The used book stores of my day were the fertilizers of my imagination as a kid and I had in many ways forgotten, or at least allowed them to slumber like Rip Van Winkle until awoken anew by the musty smell and creaking floor boards of this new reminder. I remembered how so many of these books have been taken and then returned to in turn be passed on to future generations. It warmed my heart to know there are still places like this around that manage to make the business model work. I had largely assumed that they were all gone to be honest. The owner, Dan, was knowledgeable and able to assist my wife with some recommendations for new reads. If you go here be sure to ask about the purple bucks which are basically a a paper rewards program in the form of purple paper money you can spend at the store. Also, be sure to call ahead before going to pay a visit. Dan is semi retired and so the store could be closed. Especially on a Monday.

    Great selection in little cozy library setting. Prices are great to support local. The owner is a…read morelittle different. A real experience is when the former owner, Dan strikes up a conversation.
