Used bookstore with nicely curated books. You won't find moldy multiple copies of The Da Vinci Code, etc. here. Great art books. The real thing.

This is by far one of the best bookstores I’ve been in. The selection of books is great and there is multiple places to sit. Highly recommend.

It is a great little store when looking to purchase a book as a gift, it doesn't seem to be the fun kind of store where someone could spend hours looking through the stacks.
