Reviews
"Great old used books store with so many genres and options for every reader. I highly recommend stopping by here if you are any kind of reader. I personally love used book stores and this is now one of the top that I have had the opportunity to go to. The area it is located in is such a great place for shopping and entertainments."
"REALLY cool bookstore! It’s one of the largest/oldest bookstores in the country. There’s a massive selection outside where most books are either $5 or $1. You’ll have to do some looking, but there are some gems in there. Especially if you’re looking for anything about American history. If you go inside, the first floor has a large selection that is organized by category and the upstairs has a very cool rare book selection that’s fun to look through."
"Incredible experience. The bookshop itself is a piece of art, and collections are great to explore. I even found a bunch of nice books in Persian with low prices. But the most enjoyable part was just to be there and enjoy the ambiance."
