Very interesting and eclectic bookstore that runs interesting events. Coffee shop is nice. Was disappointed in size of hot tea. Only small size.

A good book store, nice staff and the bookstore is a pretty good size with a good selection of books. In the basement is where you will find a coffee shop/café. There is a decent amount of seating if you want to work or sit and eat. Despite it being in the basement the lighting down there is good. I had a chai and an oat bar. Both happened to be very good.

First rate independent bookstore. Very well curated selection of fiction and nonfiction generally. Science fiction/fantasy is good, but not as extensive as some other stores. Still a must visit. Don't miss the cafe downstairs!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

In your cart, indicate in the "Order Comments" box that you want a signed copy and any other preferences. If you are not attending the event, you may pre-order signed books from our upcoming in-store events calendar at least 48 hours in advance of the author's appearance. Also, add a personalization name request below, if desired. We will hold pre-purchased books until the author signing and then ship or hold them for pick-up, as you prefer. Advance requests do receive preferential treatment by our staff. If you are interested in obtaining a signed book from an event occurring tonight or tomorrow, please contact us to ensure that we receive your order in time. (202) 364-1919

If I send you a free copy of my book, what would you do with it? I would want you to purchase more copies and sell them at your own price. Is this a possibility? You would not be obligated. You get one free anyway. Is it worth trying?

Lloyd Miller | Oct 20, 2019
Alyscia Cunningham | Oct 20, 2019

You have to contact the store and inquire about book consignment. The book buyer will need to know more about your book before agreeing to see a review copy.
