Cliff's Books — Local services in DeLand

This store is nothing shy of fantastic. The amount of nostalgia I got walking through the place was awesome.

This store is absolutely chock full of early sci-fi comic book memorabilia, films, posters, and everything A to Z that involves film.

They have many figures here ranging from Disney things, to marvel things, to early sci-fi movie related things such as the creature of the Black lagoon, and much more.

I seen a couple reviews here disappointed that they didn't have any newer style things, but honestly if you're going into the store expecting a super modern vibe this is not the store you're looking for.

The owner seemed like a fantastic person, very outgoing and definitely cares about his business.

I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you are in downtown DeLand and love reading, or old sci-fi...

A fine used bookstore in the classic mold. Allergy safe: there was no cat here last year. There's books on racks, books on shelves, and even a few in stacks. Cliff is obviously very busy and the books go flying in and out of here. There's a good selection of hard to find gamer books, a great sci-fi / fantasy section, and respectably large and well organized mainstream fiction and non-fiction sections. Books on local culture and Floridiana are available. Toys, games, and collectables are on sale as well. The sf&f sections in the back can be quite packed, so be prepared to poke around some. Great for browsing and for kids who do like books. Cliff the owner is smart, friendly, and knows his trade. This shop's hours vary in their convenience, sometimes closing in the afternoon, so you may want to call ahead and confirm...

If you happened upon Cliff's books in passing, you might think it's just a quaint old books store or comic shop. And while you would be forgiven for making such an assumption, you would, in fact, be quite wrong. Cliff's is far more than that. Cliff's has been a bastion for the youth of DeLand for decades. It has raised multiple generations of nerds, socially awkward teens, and all manner of misfits(present company included) into productive (ish) members of society. So I tip my hat to Cliff for the institution he has created. I look forward to bringing my daughter there regularly in the future. Cheers to the next...
