I can't possibly imagine a more charming bookstore! I first discovered this bookstore because of their interesting Instagram posts. The owner is knowledgeable on so many topics and the design of the space makes you want to stay there for hours! I especially love how dedicated the owner is to diversity and social justice in their collection. I'll definitely be signing up for their unique customized book club.

Best used book store in town. The owner is great. My girls love checking out the books and have been put onto some great series shopping here. Need to find a book? This is the spot to check.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Found an author who had written a book I was reading in the window and the shopkeeper kindly found another so I had to buy both books! She was very lovely re: customer service. Will be back!

This is an excellent used bookstore. The selection is one of the best I haveencountered -especially if you are interested in quality fiction .They have agreat supply of contemporary and classical fiction. The owner was very inviting and quite interested in helping us locate titles. I would highly recommend this store to anyone who enjoys the search for a new book treasure.
