Burke's Book Store is a real deal bookstore for readers and collectors, offering a perfect place with a calm and adventurous vibe. It is an absolute delight and a must-see for book lovers of all ages, featuring that old book smell in the air. The store provides a great cultivation of titles, including a solid selection of currently-talked-about new titles, local authors, classics, and staff recommendations. It is a comfy, used bookstore with a few new titles and a steady supply of used books to look through, where one is always able to find something interesting. They have a plethora of styles with a decent used selection, including a notable biography and memoir section and a dollar shelf with surprising finds. The staff is well-read, very friendly, and helpful, offering great conversation and the decency to not interrupt. If they do not have a book in stock, they will order it very quickly. The store has amazing pricing, generally five to six dollars per book, and they also buy books or offer trade credits. With free off-street parking and a lovely location, it provides the perfect atmosphere and nothing but love. These types of stores are fading fast, making it a good thing to support your neighborhood bookseller.
