Set and Setting is a really fun, enjoyable shop with a wonderfully curated collection. They always have just the book I didn't know I needed, and I really enjoy their little extras -- stickers, zine kits, bookmarks, etc. The people there are also super helpful and kind. I can't recommend enough!

I loved my visit! Kaylee gave me some wonderful advice on a good pick from the tightly edited selection of books AND I got a present for my dad AND they had coffee. Really great spot for community and reading.
