A fun used bookstore that my daughter and I found. It smelled so good to be surrounded by such loved books. There was a wide selection, reasonable pricing and helpful, sweet staff. A must to revisit.

Visited for the first time this year and I found a 100 yr old copy of "A Room With A View" by Forster that I will treasure forever. Highly recommend!
