It's such a charming place. I love the selection. I found a nice stack of books to buy. I mean, I picked them myself . I walked them to the check out myself. I was asked to tip at check out. Tip for what? I am an excellent tipper when a tip is called for. I'm not sure why a bookstore asks for tips. I clicked the 10% button because I felt pressured to tip something. You got my 10%, but I won't ever go back. Just because an app prompts for tips doesn't mean you have the type of business that should ask for tips.

Read moreTo find this hidden gem, I'd recommend parking at Burger King and going down the back stairs towards the river trail. Keena, the owner, is super nice and helpful. She carries a wonderful assortment, from classics to the occult, and will keep an eye out for anything she doesn't have -if requested. Books fill the walls from top to bottom with a beautiful array of jewelry, stickers, and local art nestled in between. Be warned though, I went in just out of curiosity and came out an hour later with a MUCH longer "to be read" list.
