This is my favorite book store in the entire city! Other stores like Zia, Bookmans, Barnes and Noble are great and all, but it is so important to support smaller businesses like this one. They care immensely about the importance of books, reading, learning, and they have an incredible area for kids! They have a miriad of things you cant find anywhere else, from self care to world-wide history. They also host events for kids and adults which is incredible for the community to come together, bonding and expanding minds. You could be there for hours, and you'd keep finding new treasures. Thank you guys for everything you do!

We were greeted warmly upon entering as we looked for a particular author's latest title. Staff found the book and Anna personally walked us to the correct section & placed a copy in our hands, offering new or used! Delightful experience.
