Love Mrs. Dalloway's! I enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the shop. The managers and staff do a fantastic job of displaying book reviews and recommendations for you to choose. There's a great mix of newer releases and older classics. Pricing is fair on all their titles. Can't wait to come back and make another purchase!

Beautiful, bright and airy bookstore with a wide selection; especially, to our surprise, in garden and landscaping. I came upon it during my walk down Elmwood and was happy to find another local bookstore just nearby!
