Small but sprawling, and next to a plant shop! I asked if they had a copy of one of my fav lesbian novels Tipping the Velvet and the person at the counter knew exactly where it was. I also found a copy of Meditations, and had my pick of several editions. Well-kept shop, friendly and knowledgeable staff, hand-written blurbs singling out must-reads with synopses stuck to each shelf. Excellent selection. Excellent experience.

I just called with a question and they were a complete jerk. I don't know what I did. Won't be shopping there.
