A top notch local bookstore, friendly, helpful service, great hours. They've also got quite a variety of other interesting gift items... socks to candles. A great place to go if you're shopping for a person that has most things

Has always been and hopefully will always a great book store. Returned here for the first time in 15 years and it is still just as epic as always

Great bookstore with great selections. Found large print puzzle magazines for my mother. I've found many great books here. Abd they strongly support local authors. Highly recommended.
