What a great bookstore. I like the selection, the cat, and the staff. They have a nice selection of graphic novels as well as books on conspiracies (this place may be CIA), and whole bunch of other cool offerings.
Right when you walk in the owner is telling you about his silly "no bag or phone use policy". I understand that there is a likelihood of theft when people can steal books in a bag or take pictures of a rare book cover. However that is part of running a business and part of running a business is about making customers feel comfortable and welcome which he definitely fails to do. On my way out, he also greeted some clearly androgynous folks and said "Hello ladies, please remove your purses and turn off your phones". The one person stood there still in the entrance appearing to finish up a text. Instead of letting this person finish he was yelling and saying "MISS, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR BAG ON THE COUNTER AND TURN OFF YOUR PHONE". This person looked up and said "I'm not a woman". Yikes...This business owner is not in touch with his customers and fails to recognize basic customer service. Won't be back.
This is my favorite used bookstore after the sad passing of Aspidistra Books many years ago. It's intimate and cozy, and has a great selection of horror and sci-fi. Any used bookstore that has original editions of Arthur Machen is ok with me. This is a bookstore for book lovers.
His rules are fine and books are SUPER organised for a used shop. Could smell better and not sure the smells are the books
Cute little store with lots of old books. I wish I had more time to just dig through the. The owner is always there and ready to help so if you're looking for something specific better ask.
