I love everything about this place; the staff members are lovely, and the collection of books is awe-inspiring. I was looking for a gift for a mentor of mine, and the woman who helped me, Debbie, was incredible. She took the time to find out what I was looking for, provided terrific suggestions, and respected my modest budget. Visually the store is stunning; as soon as you step inside, you’re surrounded by gorgeously bound books from floor to ceiling, and if you are a fan of that “old book” smell, you’ll never want to leave! The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, and to top it all off, at the door, I was greeted by the most delightful little cat whose “meow” seemed to summon one of the associates to the front from somewhere deep in the stacks. It was magical. I left with the perfect gift in hand, and I’m excited to tell the recipient about this place as I’m sure he will want to visit.

This antique book shop is legit. You get what you pay for here. The collection is extensive and they have many vintage art prints for sale as well. It almost feels like a museum. The shopkeeper was extremely nice and helpful. They have a friendly cat who minds the shop.

I had the pleasure of bringing some guests to David Mason Books and everyone was blown away. The owners are kind and so incredibly knowledgeable. The books and ephemera are fantastic with something for everyone on the shelves. There are some really hard to find books here and they are all so beautiful. Always add on a few minutes to give Henry the cat some affection. If you don't find him, he will find you. I will be back again and again!

Well, I was excited to take my unlimited budget and love of old books and see where it led me, but discrimination seems to be the theme of this place. Shame.PS: The mandate was have a plan in place." I don't get how it turned into "mandatory slave muzzles and medical experimentation." Please explain."
