This bookstore has everything you are looking for, what you're not looking for (but want anyway), and what you did not know you needed in your library! It is PACKED wall to wall and floor to ceiling with books of every genre, every author, special editions, limited editions, and first editions. She has romance, horror, classics, self-help, sci-fi, and all the vampire fiction! Plan on a long visit, and get ready to be amazed!

I have visited this book store on several occasions looking for books to take home and cozy up with once the colder months arrive here in California. The ambiance in this store has been this locations Niche. It reminds me of the library's one would find in the 1994 Film The Pagemaster or maybe a book store found in Diagon Alley. Books tightly pack the shelves and all in alphabetical order waiting for you to find and excitedly add to your pile.It is a wonderful example of a fictional cozy library! Thus comes the draw backs and things you must BEWARE of before your first visit. 1) CASH ONLY . No plastic or Digital payment methods here which makes shopping here a bit inconvenient. Several patrons had to set there books aside to go and look for an ATM including myself on my 1st visit. Cash only Bookworms which brings me to my next yelp. 2) HALF OFF USED BOOKS........(sometimes?) The signs all over say Half off Cover Price or listed price. They have a very COMPLICATED pricing system here. Books are not necessarily half off. And books that are, have to be over a certain amount say $5 to be half off. And books that are a popular genre say (Science-fiction) do not qualify for this discount. So watch your totals in your book piles and make sure you have brought enough cash to pay for your purchase. (Example) No listed price on title page and no blacked out MSRP price, doesn't mean it qualifies as half off. It's genre and popularity determines the price you pay. 3) They Use Sharpies on their books. If you are hoping to find certain condition book you might not find it with out finding indelible ink written across the original MSRP of the book when it was first published. Which can put off some. 4) EXPENSIVE this book store has a fantastic selection of books but they ask full market prices found online when taken in. This makes finding a deal difficult here. Especially when you pick up a book that is hard to find but priced at $90 does not mean it's $45. They write on the title page in pencil their prices. 5) Accessibility Issues for some with Physical Disabilities This place is not Recommended those who are claustrophobic or with immobility issues. Books are organized, but they do overflow in to the isles sometimes. Also someone who is restricted to a Wheelchair or power chair should not try to visit this store it is to tight and not enough room to turn around. You need to be able to twist, stoop and bend down sideways to visit this store. Many appreciate the seasonal decorations displayed here and they only make getting around in the store more difficult. Otherwise the owner is very nice and the store is always clean. They pride themselves on their establishment and they try to only sell Very Good or near perfect books to stalk their shelves. With only slight changes this store would would be a perfect 5 stars! Ok Fellow Bookworms, enjoy this establishment and support local businesses. And I hope this guide helps you find that next Adventure!

The cutest little book shop! A very cozy, vintage feel with an absolutely wonderful warm welcome. We were greeted at the door and given a quick rundown of how the shop works, how it is arranged, pricing and their cash only policy and then were personally guided to areas of potential interest and encouraged to browse freely after! Great prices, huge selection, inviting atmosphere, amazing! just don't forget to bring cash!

What an amazing place! This store is truly a hidden gem. Michelle was there to help us and she was wonderful. We were almost overwhelmed by the sheer number of available books. It feels like stepping into a Harry Potter novel. Amazing experience, we will be back frequently!!!

This place is truly the best book store around! The owner is so wonderful and welcoming every time we visit the store. My daughter loves this place so much that she brought two of her friends for her 12th birthday! Her friends immediately fell in love with the place and can't wait to come back. I appreciate the variety of books they have and they always have new inventory. And it is a MUST for you to visit for Halloween and Christmas. Run, don't walk to this place. It's a gem!

It's like a labyrinth in there. A ton of books some very old some newer. Definitely look at the books as of course they are used. It's a cash only business so bring cash with you. If you want a blinddate with a book know that the books are again used so expect a possible damaged book but that's the chance you take lol. The staff is nice but will repeat the same thing to you instead of yes or no lol.

If you're an adult, you will enjoy the quantity of books and genres. I thought the prices were a little high for used books which was half of the original price. They have a welcoming section for children's books but they are not child-friendly. The children who were in the store at the time were not running around or mistreating the merchandise, but the owner (I believe it was) followed them around and nagged them. If you have interesting things within the reach of young children, expect them to touch them. Just hang the items higher! This was not my first visit and I have found it the same.

Fantastic find today! Visiting town today, I found this great used book store. Heavily Harry Potter themed, this place has loads of personality and SO MANY BOOKS! Don't know how they have these many books and all neatly ordered. The person working the store was incredibly helpful. Found there books for my granddaughter.
