A delightful treasure trove of old and new books. Creaky floors and all manner of odd finds await you in there.

Went in a few weeks ago and left with a half a dozen books I didn’t know I would need. Well priced out-of-print books and a lot of ephemera and collectibles to look through. Warm, inviting atmosphere. Friendly staff. Will be back!
