“Having a local book store is so important to a community. This shop is wonderful. You will love walking into this sweet shop. The staff is fabulous in helping you find the right book and if needed, can order and it comes quickly. I also if I buy from www.libro.fm instead of big box stores, it helps support my local shop and not big corporations. The shop has great book clubs. So find a club to meet new people, go to the shop and meet the wonderful staff, call, to order and always use www.libro.fm if buying online. The prices are the same as big box and it supports local.”

“Great local bookstore, really nice and helpful owner and staff. They have a ton of titles for a modest sized shop, and well curated. Also, if they don’t have one you’re looking for they can order it for you.”

“They have an eclectic collection of books, movies and music DVDs. Apparently, these are donations that didn't make it to the library shelves. Prices are very reasonable and the staff is friendly. I actually like this place better than the Pleasant Hill library which has tried to become too many things. If you are a nerdy bibliophile that likes older reading material, try this bookstore.”

“This place attracts a strangely high frequency of obnoxious customers, but otherwise I have no problems with it. Books are, of course, very cheap, and they have a huge selection. Not everything you want is always in stock, but that's just the nature of it. Sometimes trade-ins are worth it, sometimes they aren't--but at least the store has that feature so you can clear out some space on yr bookshelf. Strangely good selection of poetry chapbooks, and fun to look at the video games behind the locked glass cabinet. Decent selection of CDs (music), good selection of LPs. Lots of TV. Of course they have like, trinkets/stocking stuffers and notebooks. Just an all-around solid bookstore. However, the employees are somewhat unprofessional, and the customer base is super stalkercreep.”

“Cindy and Cindy were great help in picking out Christmas gifts for the family! Their selection of rosaries are amazing! The crosses were absolutely beautiful. I ended up spending over 200 dollars for the entire family. The items are affordably priced! I will definitely be back for birthdays! I am proud to help local businesses! God Bless you and Merry Christmas!”

“Let's support our local bookstores even if they're smaller than they used to be and don't have every single book ever made. Workers here are always cordial and friendly. Cafe is reasonable and decent.”

“Really cool spot! Wonderful and knowledgeable owners. I was recommended this place by my reiki teacher. They do aura readings where they take a Polaroid picture of you so you can see your aura instantly! They are great at explaining the colors and what they mean. Will definitely be back here again.”
