I came for a book reading/poetry night. I left with a stack of books. This is such a cute little shop.

Small in size but beautifully curated bookstore, that actually have a sizable inventory. They cover all the basics but with a very strong fiction section and hard-to-find titles. The buyer for the store is excellent.

So good. The booksellers here are among my favorite in town, their selections are god-tier, and they manage to be simultaneously cool enough to satisfy voracious readers with obscure tastes but accessible enough to be a great community hub.
