A great find I just happened to see by chance. Visit this store if u like books and beads at great price points! I got crystals as well, they ladies are super friendly and helpful. It was like the internet never happened and I was in 95 talking face to face with nice folks about everyday things. This is my new favorite place. I got a whole bag of books for 3.00!!!

Shopped by to get a couple books to mail to my sister in Texas who has breast cancer. It was perfect! They ship as well. Beautiful store and very agreeable staff.

This is the place to go for used books. The prices are unbelievably inexpensive, and there are hidden treasures everywhere. Nature photography, beaded jewelry, and so much more. I wish I had more time to spend there. In fact I am going back to finish my treasure hunt for booms.

Nice shop with lots of used books and cds but they dont have beads. They have already made Beaded jewelry. Jewelry designers dont come here looking for beads!

I really love this store! Although not huge, it is packed with so much great stuff that I can kill quite a bit of time there! There is all manner of various artwork from local artists, crafts, and a great selection of used books. There is even some audiobooks too.Its not really a typical store. The mix of products is pretty eclectic, and I have not seen many of these products available anywhere else. I like to go there to get presents for people because I know the gift will be unique.The people are friendly and helpful Really I cant think of anything negative to say about them, so 5 stars!

Short answer- cozy store, variety of merchandise. As a customer there is an amazing selection of local authors and great artists. The staff are friendly and helpful.If you are looking to sell your books however there are a few things I wish I had known.I moved this year and my husband had me pare down my library. After going through everything I had four packing boxes of books. After going through the first box everything was denied. I was given certain guidelines. What they look for is popular adult fiction mostly but these things were frowned upon (by this specific person, perhaps not officially)Hardcover booksReligion books (with the exception of Amish fiction)Non fictionFor me this was a major blow. I personally read about 75% non fiction. I majored in religion. So of my four boxes less than 20 made the cut. I was a little heartbroken as two of my favorites got cut and they were bestsellers. (I ended up posting on Paperback Swap, they each found happy homes in less than an hour.)Anyhow I went to use my credits recently and also want to share how redeeming my credits went.I was so excited because I heard a local author was releasing a book there. I went to use my credit. You cannot use your credit for local authors. Or art, jewelry, etc. The credits can only be used on other used items (I only asked about books, I assume credit can also be used on the used DVDs and CDs but Im not 100% sure.) I found a couple books but I had less than 20 dollars credit, spent around 80 dollars (I got the local author book, 25 dollars no discount, and a Christmas ornament) and still had credit left over. When you use credit it only covers cost of book down to a dollar.None of these policies are bad! I only share because I had disappointment caused by not knowing these things up front. I just thought I would try to make it clear for anyone else.

Terrible customer service here today! Had a good experience with a young lady working here by herself on Saturday morning. Returned today to purchase some more jewelry/gifts and there were 3 older women on staff. I walked around the whole store, picked up a few books and browsed glass cases near the front while another customer (the only other one in the store) was being helped. I was not greeted, given a farewell or asked if I needed any assistance. Actually had 2 of the 3 employees on staff today AVOID making eye contact with me when I tried. Had to listen to one complain about why she felt like she didnt need to be there or something... I felt completely ignored and unwanted there, so I put the items had intended on purchasing down on the counter and made my way to the exit. It upset me so much, that I tried to call them 3 times after leaving to let them know they had lost a customer, but the phone kept ringing over and over endlessly. I tried to help them out with my business and then with a private heads up, but evidently what they dont want to interact or hear what their customers have to say, so here I am leaving a bad review online for everyone to see.

Has a lot of things to putter through. When youre done picking out books and perusing local authors works, there are movies for sale, art, jewelry, and other assorted knicknacks. Great place to find gifts!

A very decent selection of books and a fair trade in plan. You get credit for every book,DVD, Blu-ray you trade in and then can purchase books for a dollar.
