Friendly staff. New and used books. I love the organization of the books, the cultural art on display, and every nook and cranny of Marissa’s Bookstore.

A must visit when I’m the area. Amazing selection of new and used books, competitive pricing, and helpful staff. This reminds me of bookstores before Amazon, where I can pick up what I want for a couple dollars instead of buying new.

A great selection of books, including used. Everything is arranged really well, and interesting books are very easy to find. The vibes are also great at this bookstore, and time seems to fly when I’m in here.
