I could have spent all day looking at everything they have to offer. This bookstore is a small local jem. It is exactly where you should go if you are Interested in collectables, antiques, old and rare readings, posters, maps and nicknacks. For the most part everything is organized, labeled and easy to look through but they do have a lot. As I was leaving I knew there was still so much I was leaving undiscovered. Their book selection is exceptional.They most likely have a category of your interest. Full circle, you wont leave without finding something you cant put down. if you have an appreciation for these sorts of things , than you it is unlikely you will leave Lastly, the customer service was exemplary. After spending hours there, I had eventually made the decision to buy only one out of the many books I had my eye on. This book was $5 ( yes, some are very inexpensive), I only had a $50 dollar bill on me which she could not break. She was sweet to offer me the book anyway and to just pay during my next visit. That small act of kindness is a major part of why I took the time to write this review. It is unfortunately rare to see that type of customer courtesy, thank you!

What an incredible old book shop! Simply walking in and smelling the worn leather and years of worn paper was great. Browsing through the shelves was a treat! Well worth the stop!

Not your average used book store. There are some unique things there you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else.
