Has any and every you would want in this hidden jewel! The store was recommended by a lady at Granny’s Kitchen. On the down side, the older lady behind the counter was unfriendly and acted as if she didn’t want our business.

Took my daughter so she could search for books dealing with natural remedies. She found a LOT. I found many very interesting books with Native American history, culture, legends & lore etc. I could spend a fortune there & we did spend hours looking at everything.

The older man was laying down on his chair and his dirty feet up toward customer, looked like too high. No answer the greeting, then I asked to give me discount on wristband, he simply asked me to leave. I wasn’t expecting from such a neighborhood and best told culture.

Wish I had more time to look through everything! They definitely had what I needed and more. They have the largest selection of books about herbs and some of the cutest beadwork I’ve ever seen, too! Really nice folks, too.

Beautiful Native-owned shop! I love that it’s bright and well organized- very simple to figure out how the books are categorized. There’s a great selection / variety of books - a great way to learn more about Native people and their history. They also have some lovely beaded Jewelry and artwork. The owner was very friendly and helpful too! It was great to speak with him :) can’t recommend this place enough! You’re supporting a small native owned business when you’re shopping here and the book selection is fantastic

Excellent selection of books! I was able to find several titles that I had been looking for. The children's section was well-stocked, and they had crafting and cookbooks as well. There is something for everyone here!

Beautiful store with a wonderful variety of books. I’m a Children’s Librarian and loved seeing the outstanding books for children. My son and I purchased three books (one was The Rez++ Detectives recommended by I assume the owner) to read together.
