Reviews
"Beautiful service! Great book selection that you do not see in other locations."
"What a waste of my time. I was not greeted. The shaggy haired guy at the counter didn't even look up. LOTS more fun things to do on his phone than talk to customers I guess! When I asked about the mid 90's Stephen King installment series of the GREEN MILE, he responded quickly: " Don't even bother looking. We don't even carry any of his material in this store." WOW. OK. Very helpful I thought. I left without a word. Wasn't acknowledged at all, let alone asked if he could perhaps find something comparable. Here I was trying to BUY LOCAL, and all I received was the feeling that I was bothering the clerk on his phone! How do you run a store that's not interested in paying customers?? Stay away! Bought on ebay and received quickly btw..."
"I'm amazed by how many fungal books they had (what I went in for, wasn't expecting much at all). I bought a great lichen field guide and the book seller was very kind and helpful. I helped him identify a bird that was trapped in the store earlier that day! Hope the little guy is ok."
"What a great store! Visited for the first time today and I loved it all. The selection was phenomenal and the store was laid out really well. It didn’t feel overly cramped or chaotic, which is impressive given the store isn’t all that big. It struck me as one of those places you go in looking for one book and come out with two or three other books that you didn’t know you needed until you started wandering around. I’ll definitely be back."
"What a lovely bookstore; small, not overwhelming, but still has such diverse and extensive selections. Loved the little stickers, pins, zines etc. that they also sell. Definitely recommend stopping by!"
