“A teeny tiny bookstore catering to H.P. Lovecraft, mysticism, and the occult, with some horror and rpgs thrown in. I was looking for more used books or branded merch, but I did purchase some stickers and a couple of postcards. It's a cool stop if you're in the area but your visit will be short.”

“Love this spot! A great selection of books, including a section devoted to literature and nonfiction centering Palestine. Friendly staff, interesting speakers (including Hala Alyan and Susan Muaddi Darraj), and the ability to enjoy a good beverage. True movement partners, and well worth a visit.”

A delight for the eyes, mind & spirit. The staff & owner were lovely & helpful. I can’t wait to go back. Well worth a travel to go see & I’ll be visiting from an hour & a half away. Thank you!”

“Heaven for artists. Everything you need to buy for your project except creativity. Huge paper section. (I bought some Italian paper/prints of flowers, mushrooms, birds, etc for about $6 each that I plan to frame.) They have a huge selection of journals, too. Michaels is a consumerist joke compared to this store. Honestly, you could spend two hours here, salivating.”

“This bookstore is pretty tucked away, and confusing for first time visitors. I’ve used google maps to drive here and it always leaves you up the street. Go down that one way street, across the gated parking lot there’s an opening with a sign up top. Then stay to the left, down the stairs to a shady looking basement—that’s the bookstore.The actual store itself is your run of the mill university bookstore. It’s got affordable school supplies, overpriced snacks and JWU apparel. I’ve picked up all of my textbooks here without a problem, and 5 minutes tops. There’s an older gentleman who works the desk and has for years and he’s very polite and helpful. Ask him for help if you need it.”

“This store has pretty much everything you want for art supplies from brushes to oil to watercolors to markers and pencils. I have been there a few times to get supplies for my painting hobby that I need to be more focused on.. It's walking distance from the condo, so no parking issues for me. The staff working here is efficient and friendly.”
