After careful analysis, I realized that I typically spend an average of $1 for every minute spent in this intellectual candy store. Of course this means I can't linger for more than an hour or so...

They buy books - but not on Sundays. And they're picky!
Peter Von BergJune 4, 2019
NEVER take your books there to be resold. I once dragged two bags full of beautiful books to be resold only to be told, "We don't take these" by the arrogant son of a bitch behind the counter.
