I want to mention that this place is a 4 to 5 star bookstore to any demographics. From children to adults. If you're looking for books that you'll read more than once. Look here.
The area of my liking is largely nonfiction. This place does not have an expansive collection of encyclopedias and dictionaries like I desired. However, every book in this place is precisely selected, and even a nonfiction lover like me could appreciate a few good fiction here. If you're interested in tasteful social and ethnical writings, this place provides the best.
The prices are fantastic for the contents provided, and every stationary and maps are wonderfully designed and has a fair price.
Because of the sizable selection, and most books are open, you can read to your heart's content and find writing that strikes your fancy quickly. Historical, Poetry, and Art is the area the choosen books focuses on the most.

I also want to highlight the staff there, who all made me feel welcome and were so kind as to let me store my backpack at the counter. The energy they had when speaking about upcoming events and the bookstore itself speaks volumes to their opinion on the place.

Read moreOne of those now 'rare 'bookstores where the person working there knows about the works and truly cares about the choices and representations of the authors. I thought I was on top of great finds but I was surprised with a truly interesting, extremely highly rated book! The author had just spoken there recently and I was truly impressed with the level of effort that is involved to curate well written books with current authors. It also feels nice to buy from a bookstore and not just have something shipped online. You are helping a local business that is passionate about what they do, there is more of a connection to how special that book is in this type...
