JessicaNovember 30, 2014This place is a hidden gem! Really great finds in the $2-$3 section, and a cool little garden in the back. Thought it was some sort of psychedelic poster shop for 2 years via the front window!
SusumuOctober 28, 2015Plenty of classics in decent condition. Be sure to check out sales books in the back yard.
Eddie R.September 6, 2011Great place for ppl who still refuse to acknowledge we're in the greatest financial since the Depression. Good critical and philosophy sections as well as decent black studies at fantastic prices.- dilay yalcinMarch 5, 2016great place with calm atmosphere and nobody bothers you even if you stay for hours. plus the music is always good
The monthly specials of$2 and $3 books are nice to pick up but the antiques spread through the shelves are the best

"Solid, interesting music playing overhead (as opposed to dead silence at some other places...) and better book selection than I've found at other downtown bookshops. Great jazz record selection."
