As usual, great store. I haven't been to the Fremont store in 10 years and was happy how clean it is. What does need attention is the alphabetical order of CDs, records, and movies. They are in the correct letter but artists and such are scattered. The employees are helpful and friendly.

One of the few places I know about that sells experimental / Noise music. The store has a great selection of media I'd recommend checking out

A good place to find many rare books and good books at really cheap prices. I would say it's better than amazon because I love browsing books before I buy them. I miss bigger bookstores.
