The owner & staff seem to have put a lot of thought into which brands, etc. to stock and were very knowledgeable, incredibly friendly & wonderfully patient when assisting this "new" OCD dad. I also might add that the experience certainly exceeded that of any previous trip to a "superstore" toy aisle.

Within one minute of flipping through the book (i.e. not a thorough search), I found twelve instances of marginalia. There is also a prominently-sized name and date written in pen on the inside cover page. No marks indeed! I suspect lack of care in inspection rather than purposeful deceit. But either way, beware of false descriptions.

Jinx is now Well Read Books. I finally made it over to Fulton to check it out…read more It looks like a different store! The piles of books are gone. It's organized. There are signs for the different section. Staff (owner?) was friendly and helpful. I took some books to trade in and about half of what I brought was accepted, which is better than at some stores. I got an old paperback copy of a book I've been seeking in stores for a couple of years. There was good variety in the store and a nice local/Missouri history section. The cat is still there, so I'm happy as can be with Well Read Books. I will make a point of visiting again soon in the future.
