This place is amazing! I wanted to find old books to add to my collection. They have so many to choose from. The owners are super great to talk to and really nice. If you want old books, this is the place to go.

What an amazing place to go. I admittedly do not read or buy lots of books but walking into this place it's heaven for book fanatics. The assortment of old and new and amount of books is mind blowing. To see books from the I believe was 1800s to now alone is worth a look. Seeing how well preserved they are with old leather covers and the feel of the paper is something you can't help but appreciate. The prices are very reasonable and the owner was friendly and extremely helpful with any questions you have. I would certainly recommend checking it out.

A HUGE selection of used books in two floors! If you are a bibliophile and like to hunt for used books you'll love this place. Floor to ceiling shelves with all sorts of books. Excellent organization and labeling of sections. The staff is very pleasant. Cartoons and quotes tacked up at intervals made it even more fun. Owners are very pleasant and helpful.

This book shop has a huge selection of used books, arranged by topic. The main floor is jam-packed with all sort of volumes: fiction, classics, beautiful tooled ornamental vintage books, sets, poetry, cooking, children's books, and so forth. The upper floor has higher ceilings and the books are packed to them! This floor is nonfiction, mostly history of all types, and has smaller rooms full of engineering, science, radio, and so forth. There are chairs to read in, and some kids' toys to keep them entertained. I also found a small stack of graphic novels which was awesome! I wish they had a whole section of those, though I know they sell fast. It was strange to just find them in a pile instead of on a shelf someplace. The owner was very helpful and friendly, while letting visitors explore at their own pace. There is a friendly cat in residence, so keep in mind that you may want to take allergy meds if that's useful for you. Books are moderately priced - they are relatively expensive for things like first editions, though most books are in the $10 range that I found, so still quite affordable. Come with an idea of subject areas in mind, not particular books, and you'll leave with a few (or a lot!) more treasures!

Questions & Answers

I have at least 10 large cartons of Life magazines dating back to and during the war. Is there any interest and what would the value be???

The owners, to my knowledge, do not have much of an online presence. Youre best bet is to call Helen and Ian, the owners. Best of luck

Do you buy used books? If so, any guidelines on what kinds you buy?

I would call the store. Ask for Helen or Ian, they are the owners. Great folks and very helpful.

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

Same as everywhere else. Wear a mask. Social distance.

Any Stetson Kennedy?

This place has roughly 150,000 books and they're not catalogued. Most of the fun is going in and seeing what you find.
