For many years, this bookstore has been an absolute joy to visit, and it continues to be under new ownership. I always find something when I come here, and the price is always very reasonable. The owner, Patrick, and his staff will help you find what you're looking for, and you are free to have a seat in the front …

Super idyllic bookstore. I thought the fiction section was a little light - I was hoping to find more there - but then fell into the literature section and found joy. The owner is great. He let our family use the bathroom in the back (thank you!) and clearly treats his shop like a labor of love.

This is a real-deal used book shop, the kind which used to be found just off campus of any university or college worth attending. Take the time to disappear into the stacks here and get lost among old sci-fi paperbacks, cookbooks from forgotten kitchens and esoteric volumes of all sorts.
