I was out going from store to store on this row with my father, and a colloquial term we have for an antique store like this one is a junk store because we like cool junk, not antiques. As we entered this store my father noticed the adjoining antique store, and announced "Hey, theres a junk store next door" to which I replied, "Next to the book store next door" and evidently the man working as cashier for the bookstore found our use of the word junk to be insulting, and I felt very attacked when he made this clear to me. He said that this was all antiques and not junk, and was not accepting my explanation that we use junk as a term for antiques we do not find appealing. He demanded an apology (mind you after my father and I had both apologized, I was more profuse because as I said before I felt very attacked and that I was the target) or that we leave and he does not want our business. I had a bit of an anxiety attack from this, it certainly made my afternoon much worse. I should add we didnt buy anything, much of the stuff was what I thought to be overpriced. I may go back, but be extra cautious in what I say to anyone. two stars because some of the antiques were very interesting, but I was too shaken up to examine anything closer.

I love having a bookstore in the avenue. This neighborhood is a must for it! This shop is quirky, with a sweet owner tending it. Books are pricey, especially for used, but the selection is vast and owner is knowledge. Attached is a vintage shop.

Offers a bit of everything! Antiquarian books, vintage clothing, antique and ancient artifacts. Worth a visit!

Im always up for a used bookstore, but I found this one kind of dumpy, cluttered, dusty, and disorganized.
