Cute little book store. I was not too impressed with the selection, especially nonfiction, but it’s a small store.

This cute little bookstore we ran upon by accident. It is really a neat little gem! Clearly Frank the cat runs the place and tolerates Bart the amazingly friendly and knowledgeable "guy behind the counter". Frank and Bart are worth the visit!!!
