Great bookstore with lots of good options. I actually got some incredible finds here. Finding inventory can be a bit confusing at first.

This place and the comic book store 2 doors down are just what you want them to be. Packed floor to ceiling, hidden treasures stuffed into every cranny and a staff that knows exactly what you are looking for, if they have it and where to find it. All of my kids love it and I found a pair of girl squirrel underwear to send as a thank you to my bestie who sent me "The Toast that Has No Ears". I have been searching for 16 years for just the right thing! (And yes, you read both of those things correctlu :))

I love, love, love this bookstore. The selection of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and mystery is extraordinary! There's games, and toys, and all sorts of fun gift ideas too. I'll be visiting again soon.

I have walked by this place a 1,000 times, stopped to pet the dragon a 100 times (with my 3 year old son), and went in for the first time today... and it was great! It had a fun selection of kids books, and I happily bought a book my son picked out for just $5! I am certain we will be back regularly for more. I hope others are more adventurous than me and check it out sooner than I did.

Yes! I was there mid January 2021. Still a fantastic place with buried treasure to find in every nook and cranny!

I am looking for the 1990s novel, sometimes classified as fancy, called "Was," by Geoff Ryman. Does Dark Carnival or anyone else have it?
