By far the best used book store I’ve been to! A extremely large selection, well organized, decently priced, and easy to look through. It smells heavenly in the bookstore thanks to the small coffee shop they have in it. The restroom was super clean, which was needed since I spent so much time looking around. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about the selection they have.

Old School Bookstore. Stacks on the floor. Some interesting titles. Espresso. Owner was very knowledgeable and polite. I found a good paperback history book on Colonial times for a good price.

I was looking for used, delighted to find the titles new. Found some nice used books here in the past as well. I feel like I live in a bookstore desert, nice to have this homegrown oasis. Saved me a trip to Eugene. Always receive friendly help here. Thanks While Away. Peeramidkril🙏
