Liked the bookshop before with its previous owners. Under new ownership....not sure who was behind the counter during our visit but it was unexpectedly disappointing with a bizarre, off-putting vibe. The selection is decent and pricing reasonable at least. Since the shop is looking to sell the business, I do hope they do find suitable new owners who are a better fit for this industry and committed to keeping bookshops alive. Until then, we're more inclined to stick to the other side of the avenue where the other bookshops are more friendly and browsing experience is more enjoyable.

Yelp -- please update the hours. or, maybe today's a fluke. We are here and it's Monday -- not open at 11am or noon. dark and closed but looks like a lot of terrific stuff in the windows. sorry we are leaving town and can't come back when it does open ...?!

Charming bookstore with outstanding selections in fiction, poetry, history, spiritual beliefs, children's selections. I was so happy to buy 1 item I was looking for (hard-to-find mystery in a series) and 2 unexpected treasures (1 new fiction, 1 memoir). A delight to browse and discover.

Talk about a great local business! I needed a classic book for my book group that wasn't available in libraries. I called and in 10 minutes I picked up an excellent copy of my book at a very fair price. Thank you!

While strolling down Piedmont I happened to notice a copy of Captain Underpants in the bookstore window and fell out laughing. I was drawn in at that moment and had to know what other treasures were inside. What I discovered was a vast space filled with rare and unique books and most importantly, postcards! It's becoming increasingly difficult to find postcards and this store had boxes full, ranging from the standard tourist variety, to historic landmarks from a variety of countries and then just the fun whimsical type. I settled on three because I felt overwhelmed but my favorite has inspired me to travel.

This bookshop stole my heart! Who knew you could have such a fantastic selection in a relatively small space. Beautifully curated. Their antiquarian books are of special interest and their used books are very reasonably priced. It's a treasure trove!
