Cozy yet spacious store with fabulous assortment of bestseller and quirky books. Check out sale section in the back.

I always dip into this place to escape the city. Quiet place filled with the sound of soft music and creaking floors. Book selection is very good, but full price

The wood floors creak with age and frequent visits by bookworms of all types. Good selection, but mostly full price, so keep that in mind if you are.pinching pennies.

Nice independent bookstore. This place does NOT feel like a chain. What a relief!
