Didn’t buy anything here, but the lady working the counter was being so kind to a guest, I had to leave a good review. It’s a really cute book store. Had to hold myself back from leaving with a stack of books.

I saw their showcase window and had to give a shout out to Open Book! You made my day (“I’m With the Banned”) is bold and courageous and healing to my soul. If I didn’t already have 3 books with me, I would have picked something up today. You are business worthy of all of our support! Cheers!
