Ventured in to the store today for the first time and wandered around for over an hour! It was breathtaking! The most interesting store I have ever entered! The book selection was wonderful! The atmosphere is so inviting and relaxing! The addition of rolling ladders to climb the shelves is just such a fine touch. The decor is just phenomenal! I just can’t get over the feeling of wonder from being inside this store! You have got to step in! I know I will frequent often with my children as there’s even a nook of children books as well! Thank you so much for this...
