Quite the collection. A lot of trinkets to choose from. We were lucky to visit, when there was an author discussing his work. But the book was for adults. :)

Just one of the best bookstores I’ve ever been in. The best owners and staff. Helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. If they don’t have it, they’ll get it in for you. If you have kids, they do readings and puppet shows. Amazing.
