A beautifully curated "must visit" if you like literature. Filled with rare, museum worthy items and friendly people. Signed books from Hemingway, Washington, US Grant, and so many more. I felt like I was in heaven, especially when I found they own the gorgeous cigar bar behind the book store. Truly a special place.
