What an unbelievable find. They have an extensive selection of used and rare books covering every topic imaginable—from history and philosophy to math and mystery. Don't miss the huge $3–$5 outside display (look for the yellow stickers). Amazing prices and an incredible selection!

I called to ask about a specific book and although they didn't have it they took the time and effort to go look! I love that they did that!
