Really great book store! It can be a little difficult to find what you're looking for (books are often in stacks on the floor in the basement section), but it honestly just adds to the fun vibe of a used bookstore. Plus they have an entire section on the ground level that seems to be new-ish books, so there's a great selection.

Massive selection and variety of books, albums, beads, and other items. Loved the number and selection of used books, though a bit pricey.

I could spend all day in here looking at rocks, books, and everything else.
