    This 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!

    Great 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.

    Sales staff should try looking at customers when speaking with them. Makes for better customer service.
