Wonderful bookstore. My bookclub held its meeting there and it was a stellar experience. The owner stopped by on her day off to greet us.

Love supporting a black owned business. Courtney is a gem!
I was looking for 2 different books besides what I bought. They were ordered and I picked them up within a week!
