Best book selection in town. Mary was so helpful in finding a book in the store for me, even took my number to call me once it was located. I love this place!

I highly recommend Chaucer's, they have a great selection and quiet atmosphere. It is easy to spend hours browsing.

Surprised by the huge selection of books. Lovely bookstore.
