I was visiting and stumbled upon this bookstore. They had exactly what I was looking for and showed amazing customer service. If I lived in the area this would be my go to bookstore!

I am so glad that I came across this bookstore! I found there two books that were in my wish list for a long time and couldn't find in any other place.

Greg, the owner, is very knowledgeable and friendly. He's down to just talk books with you, and help you find a gem that you'll really enjoy. They have new books you'd find anywhere, but they have a great collection of used books that are harder to find, and an awesome collection of rare books, some hundreds of years old. Love it, will definitely be a regular!

Giant fan of this potentially overlooked gem. It's one of those stores where you just feel you can never explore long enough. Charming staff, and when you can't be close enough to put your paws on the goods, they are top rate shippers! First IRL visit after multiple cross-country shipments from some of my favorite authors. My pic is took turned out less than stellar....if i get back I'll make sure to check before I split!

This is one of my favorite bookstores I’ve ever been to. Greg is incredibly kind, deeply knowledgeable, and always willing to help. He’s even suggested other places to find books if one I’m looking for isn’t on the shelves. I absolutely love getting fantasy recommendations from him. The place may be small but it is cozy and very well curated. Used books are well taken care of and reasonably-priced as well. I genuinely can’t overstate how much I love stopping in and talking with Greg. I always find my way into the store when I’m in town and I never regret it.

The small bookstore packs a punch. It is awesome and I found a nice little Mickey Spillane book. The owner was very helpful and pleasant to speak with.

Best part of coming here. Small. Lots of signed copies. Vintage horror books? Yeah, I am there. Organized. Curated. Bookkeep was quiet, but helpful and knew exactly what to point out. He was listening without interrupting and that is always someone you need in your corner in a bookstore. An awesome place that deserves your attention and when I visit, I will always come back. If you love books, you will love this place. More than 5 stars, all the stars.

This is a nice little bookshop, but what really makes it so cool is the owner. He clearly has a passion for sharing great literature and is enjoyable to talk with about the books in his collection. I highly recommend visiting and buying and/or trading lots of books from him whenever you are in the area. He's also happy to accept book donations and ensure that the books he can't use are forwarded on to where they would be used and appreciated.
