Every time I check this lovely place out, I walk away with at least two or three new finds. There's literally no way to know what you'll find, and no way you'll ever see it all. If you are a reader, or just want to see one of the damndest bookstores you've ever seen, go. Please.

Hands down the best bookstore in town. An every Saturday trip for my wife and I when we were in college at Mizzou!
