My new favorite book store! Based on my first visit, the prices are comparable to Half Price Books but they seem to have a better selection. I don't even live close to Kaboom but I will be back soon.

Phenomenal browsing, you explore this store and think, maybe I collect books now. Great selections of art and photography books. Eye candy everywhere if you're into browsing. The most interesting stuff is all $10-30 more than I wanted to pay, but it's all lodged in my mind now so maybe I have to go back and pick it up.

Dark dingy place, wanted to sell books but clerk wasn't up to date on that, not very cordial!

Extremely rude over the phone, called to ask permission for photography in the book store and before I could even finish my sentence on the entire scenario, whoever it was on the phone interrupted with an abrupt “no”. Too bad, wanted to support a local small business instead of a large corporation. Small business and smaller mind.

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

We thoroughly read the COVID For Dummies publication, highlighting throughout. Since reopening 3 spaced-apart days a week, as of October 1st, we have maintained a mask policy for ourselves and for customers. We apply hand sanitizer to all incoming customers. We ourselves wear gloves. All hard surfaces within the shop are disinfected before each opening day, and at intervals throughout the day. The maximum number of customers allowed is 13 for 3900 square feet of retail space. Our patio doors are kept open to enhance air flow. Any book that is handled and not bought by a customer is discarded into a bin and isolated for 3 to 5 days before being restocked. If more fashion forward hazmat suits were available we would probably wear those, as well.
