Incredible store. A used bookstore usually reflects its surrounding intake and boy does this one not disappoint--I frequent a lot of bookstores as an artist and this has to be some of the largest compendiums of art, rare and overstock books I've ever found. Plenty of new books get a crazy low price that saves both students and perusers a lot of money. Since about 2018 I think their store is responsible for 20%of my book collection and its invaluable for someone interested in art and philosophy.

I usually go to get books for my nephews for Christmas and they've always had a reasonable selection of chlidren's books featuring African American and people of African descent. You might also include books about art and artists of color. Books are reasonably priced and in good condition.

They're very covid safe! Use their website, choose 'Buy a Book', and you can search their catalog for delivery or curb-side pickup (see website for pickup hours). A book I ordered was immediately available for pickup, quick & easy.
