With a lovely owner and a welcoming atmosphere, Black Cat Books is a delightful stop for anyone interested in exploring a variety of literary topics.

Absolutely loved visiting this place! Amazing selection and amazing prices. The person who helped us check out was so conversational and had a story about nearly every book I bought. Would love to go back just to visit and hear more!

The music taste is elite. The book and art selections are pretty cool too.
