About Curious Book Shop

Curious Book Shop is a large used book store and a real treasure, described as a place where you will always find something you want to buy. It occupies a building with three floors, every genre you could imagine, and is cramped with books. The selection is vast, including great pulp, vintage magazines, old cookbooks, craft, art books, technical books, birding guides, Spartans football programs, and obscure or out-of-print titles. There is a decent organization, though some subjects require a little digging as things get misplaced, which can lead to discovering more books. The shop also has unsorted banker boxes on the floor worth looking through, and they even offer 'mystery books' wrapped in paper at the counter. The service is consistently noted as great, wonderful, extremely friendly, and patient. The employees are helpful for finding something specific. It is a fun destination for collectors, bibliophiles, and people who like to chew through books quickly, with great prices. Families enjoy it too, with an exciting children's section. A noted drawback is that the multi-level shop is not wheelchair accessible. They also seem to have a sister store called the Archives. For anyone seeking unique finds or long-lost titles, it is a highly recommended destination.
