Small pretty good books are. Staff were friendly. They buy books too. Prices were pretty good. We could only look at the hardcover books because the paperback section was temporarily closed.

Super nice inside! I bought 6 books (they have an amazing art book section). It felt very cozy inside and nice lighting! I looked around for an hour or so- definitely worth it and very enjoyable! Also, they had good prices and nice people.
