Nice bookstore. Horrendous customer service. Had a hard time finding what I was looking for so, I asked one of the young guys working there this past Sunday afternoon (short light brown wavy hair, freshly pierced ear, teen/early 20's). Here's a bit of advice, kid. If a customer is looking for something specific, don't walk away after they ask you a question about the section they're in. HELP THEM.

The staff is knowledgeable and only too happy to track something down for you and order it if you can't find a precise item on their shelves. I especially enjoy listening to the staff comment, intelligently, on the queries of customers. Shop here or just browse- Farley's is...
