This is the bookstore at the end of the rainbow. The bookstore ALL other bookstores wish they could be.
A labyrinth of narrow aisles packed to the ceiling with every topic of used book imaginable from the last 150 years. It's hard to tell the size and scope of this bookstore, as every twisting corner reveals a new area of unexplored literature.

Robert's books just looks like an eccentric's musty book collection when you walk in but the minute you have passed through the hobbit door you expose yourself to thousands of portals of time travel, random obsession, inexplicable arcanery, and lost worlds of literary (and video) titles that will take you out of your day and make you feel you require a return visit when you finally leave.
