just the way a used bookstore should be--crammed with books and playing great music. every staff member i've interacted with has been stellar. every time i come here and poke around i happily spend ages and find something great!

It’s a fraction of the size of The Last Book Store and just as crazy. LOVE IT!

Such a charming, truly special place. The owner Tony greets you with an offer of espresso when you walk in; classics play from a record player in the corner; you happily go get lost in the aisles of books. My favorite find has been a collection of vintage Agatha Christie paperbacks, but I know I’ll be back for more!
