Store was very nicely organized and clean. It's accessible from outside the mall and has its own cafe and restroom. Good selection of classics and new releases of all genres, overall a good book store.

This place has become FULL priced books. Especially when it relates to comics. Today: I grab 5 non key Swamp Thing comics. All are reader copies due to the damage, and cannot be regarded as higher than 0.5 as they all had ANIMAL chew on them. I pointed it out to the manager who would not reduce it from $1.00 to 50 cents. Because the 2 dollars total would break the bank. I tried to describe the role grade plays in a paper object, but he was not having it. Second story- another time my son and I brought in a short box of mixed silver age and Bronze Age. When we came back they offered 10 dollars and change for it. We said no and requested our comics back. We got them back- newly priced. The first five were at a combined price of 325 dollars. They still had over 100 to go. It’s a scam. They are absolutely clueless on how to grade a comic, they just try to get the most for every comic. I have spent thousands over the years there, I won’t spend a dime until they change their shady, money grubbing practices.
