This place is magic. Buy three or four Clark Coolidge books and a mysterious purple demon candle. Thank me later.

This gorgeous space on SW 9th is my new favorite bookshop! The selection is so well curated - it's both literary and accessible! The vibe is so welcoming and warm, and you can sit and read and slow down while you make your choices. I'm seriously in love with this place.
