What a super cute store! I found some wild old pulp novels here, and the store just keeps going and going to get to the back rooms. Tons of children's books back there, manga, nonfiction, great stuff

We had a great experience at Wallace books. A cute little house taken over by books; every room, every wall, floor to ceiling. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Prices were reasonable and found some books I have been looking for for a long time.
