Amazing selection and location! Would love to purchase a sticker or two for some friends that live out of town, but did not see any the last few times I was in. I'll ask as I'm checking out next time.

Love this local independent book store! They have a huge selection, including cocktail books for your favorite bartender. Don't forget to check out the mystery suggested book section for that gift to the friend that lives to read!
