The place is so Cool! I loved it when we went to the Market. Its literally floor to Ceiling with books everywhere u look. The smell of the place is intoxicating! I love the smell of old books and paper, kind of musty and wonderfully old! The only thing that I will warn is that it gets very expensive very quickly if u arent careful with what u buy. The standard policy is 40% off the cover price which sounds great until u buy 5 or so book 3 soft and 2 hard and then have it come out as over $40 so definitely buyer beware on that front. I still love the place though as they will buy book u no longer want at 20% for good condition and they have so many books there that I bet if u dont find the book your looking for there your not likely to find it anywhere if it was a mass marketed.

Way too overpriced for used books. They take 40% off th cover price. Retail stores and Amazon already have their new books priced below the cover price anyway. Some of these books are in poor condition and not even worth $.50. Also, if a book is in good condition expect to pay close to the cover price. Some books are marked with prices (not sure how anyone could know if those were the store stickers or not) I didnt pay attention to the sticker thinking it was from a store where the book was bough new. Nope, paid 13.50 for a book that I found on Amazon new for less. Im all for supporting small businesses but this store is ridiculous.

I brought nice books in and got $19.00 in store credit. Was told could use for exchange. I found a used copy of "the fifth sacred thing" by Starhawk. Was badly damaged with stains on most pages & cover bend & crinkled. Marked 11.90. Very high for an old, used paperback book. But figured Id use some of my store credit. Turns out i had to pay 6.00 for the book and they deducted the other 6 from my credit. They said if you have store credit, then you still pay cash for half of marked price. A rip off. I wont shop there again.

This is an amazing book store. It has just been moved to directly across the street and is now bigger, better, and more organized. Please, anyone reading this, DO NOT go to Barnes and Noble. Please at least go here and see if the book you are looking for exists on her shelves. Also, if you are looking for a random read, this is a great great great place to just look around and find something that might intrigue you

An absolutely huge selection of books. I often find uncommon books here that I would otherwise have to order online. Books arent priced and the pricing system isnt readily obvious. It is also very very disorganized within genres, but its hard to blame them because there really are a LOT of books.

Very very overpriced for used books. Would prefer to look around at Goodwill forever rather than buy books here again!! Many books are in poor poor condition and stuff half the cover price or more!! Purchased 9 childrens books and it cost me 75.00!! Plain as simple I will not be returning

Insultingly over priced books. Spent $15 on a book to go home and find it for $2 w free shipping on amazon. Spent $7 on a book to find it was $.99 on amazon. I like to support small business, but come on.

Very large store since they moved. Nothing on the floor, now people with disabilites can move in the store without fear of falling. Alwaysliked using this store, but now much better.

Love their books! It is a reasonable prices. They need more the book shelves. The books keep coming and piling. Obviously, the lady who work there need a lot of help.
