Super fun and funky bookstore! Found an amazing illustrated cookbook for $7.50 thats $30 at all the Half Price Books locations near me- such a steal! The store also has an amazing hang out area in the back and it has several amazing subsections like Revolutions and Anarchy - what an amazing place!

I love this little bookshop. Is a friendly environment and they do a lot more than sell books. Sometimes they even have art displays and poetry readings..

I love this shop! Its all you would expect of a used bookstore. Selection is awesome, music was incredible. The owner is kind, sensitive, loving. She wants her patrons to leave with armfuls of books that expand their spirit and broaden their perspective. At least thats the feeling I get. Highly recommend!

An old-fashioned used book store, a disappearing genre in the age of Amazon. Lots of books generally arranged by category. Prices are reasonable considering the competition. Aesthetically... oh, dear...

Good selection, quirky layout.Warning for those with cat allergies! There is a grey cat who you may find among the books..... Clearly an enlightened being. Great plus for those of us who like cats!

The owner (owners?) are very nice and welcoming. I have sold books to them (in exchange for credit which I used immediately!), and been here to browse/shop without leaving any of my own. I love the cats! Great selection, nice staff, cute kitties - what more do you need?

Review №23

Awesome used books. Have lots of surprising, uncommon books at affordable prices. The shop owner and another customer were having an wide ranging, free flowing conversation about art, politics, and music, while very Leonard Cohen and other musicians played through the shops speakers. Plus, theres an awesome shop cat!
