it's such a mess in here! It's a huge warehouse, set off the road, like with loading docks and everything. And it's apparent that the collection has grown and sprawled over time because the organization doesn't make any sense! I was looking for Stephen King books so I looked on a board at the front of the shop telling which genres are where. The only horror was some anthologies was an endcap on aisle 18, but those weren't horror - I think I found anthologies on the far end cap, but I'm not sure they were horror ones. I resigned myself to look row by row and found 4 King books in paperback mysteries on the far left wall on aisle A, then found more harcover mysteries, but no King, on Aisle...1 maybe? And fiction is all along the back, but it stretches down certain aisles as well. And books are stacked two deep (but staggered) even high up so I don't even know how to see the ones in the back. I think it would be impossible to find anything specific, you just have to browse and see what falls on you. All that being said, I left with another hardcover mystery for $5 so the prices are pretty good. I just find it hard to believe that this whole huge bookstore only had about 4 Stephen King books in it.

Extreme false advertising. There's is only ONE story accessible by customers. They also do not sell exclusively sequels or the second in a series. They DO have an incredible variety of literature and works for all ages, as well as great people working there.

There’s a lot to admire about this place, but my favorite thing by far is that the firearms section is nestled between feminism/women’s studies and Marxism/radical politics. 😎
