    Great store. My son wanted Ronald Dahl books and they had a big selection. He got 3 books for the price of one selling as new!

    Always enjoy going to these stores. Have yet to leave one empty-handed. But, always check the prices, not everything on the open shelves are marked down.

    Generally good bookstore. Lots of new and used. Reasonably priced but no steals. Staff modestly if not begrudgingly helpful. Thin LP section and full retail on new presses. Has an interesting board and card game section. Didn’t find what we were looking for but we’re looking for a few specific popular books. One of the limitations of physical stores.
