This bookstore is amazing - I specifically love all the detail poured into each section. They even have written 'suggestions' paired with books throughout the store, so you can get a quick review of a book that you're eyeing.

Yes we do. You can bring them by during normal operating hours, 11am - 10pm everyday. If you have several bookcases worth of books, we can arrange to pick them up.

Do they sell manga?

We have some manga! It's not really our specialty, but we do have a 15 vol. set of One Punch Man, as well as some Cowboy Bebop and other cool stuff (as of 10.44 AM on 6/28/19). Fantom Comics is also a great spot, check them out as well!

Go in or give them a call. If they don't have it on hand they can order it for you.

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

Hi there, Thanks for your question! We are currently operating with masks required in the store at all times. The staff are double masked. We have a strict policy of testing with any symptoms or contact with someone with symptoms. We are also only allowing about a quarter of our usual occupancy -- which puts us around 10 - 20 customers max. We have not had any covid issues and have been keeping the space clean and well managed since reopening to the public last summer. Please let us know if you have any other questions! Adam

Hi Tiina, we very rarely have yearbooks, though you are welcome to stop by and check! We do primarily sell second-hand books, despite what the internet tells you below.
