Lovely store with an excellent selection. The store credit system is odd, in that it only counts for half your purchase, but I like that. Penny is also very helpful, and will help you find any book you wish, if she has it. She is also always up for a chat about books. Would definitely recommend this store.

As a book nerd, I really wanted to visit a nice, used bookstore while on vacation & chose this one based on the rave reviews. For me though, this store was disappointing. The selection seems to lean heavily in the direction of romance novels, which is not what I was looking for. The shelves are very crowded & not well labeled. There are stacks of books on the floor next to the shelves in the aisles posing a tripping hazard & making it difficult to see what is in the stacks or on the shelves behind them. It looks like the owner ran out of room on the shelves & then just gave up trying to organize. Nothing was priced either & after paying for the few books that I decided to purchase, the total was a bit higher than I expected given all of the reviews that mention "great prices." I'd say if you want a romance novel, give this place a try. Otherwise pass & find a store with a wider variety. Personally, this place is not for me & I would not visit again.

The book size is pretty large, I will say if your looking for more on the end of older mixture of book then this place has plenty of that. But if your looking for a more updated mix of books, it also has that. I went through the whole place honestly looking for Mangas or books I wanted a hard copy of, it had Mangas (bought all of what they had rn sorry but also not sorry people), where when I was in the "modern" teenage area the place has a really large collection such as twilight book, pretty little liars books and so on. The prices are also really good, and the whole place was like a male of books, of you not knowing what you will find but thats what I like about the place. Would vist again more during the hotter spring time tho for myself.

I love this bookstore! The shop is organized by genre and then author's last name. They also take books for store credit and have a good collection to choose from. Penny is very knowledgeable about what's in the store and super helpful! Definitely recommend giving this shop a visit!

You would have to call the store. I am just a customer.

Do they buy books?

Penny's buys books, paying you with credits that can then be used to buy used books from her stock.
