Its book shops like these that feel a bit magical. Getting a book from here is simply enjoyable. Also the cool scented candles here add depth to the senses while reading. And their creative greeting cards make it an easier errand when picking up a book gift.

I love this place. A true neighborhood cozy book store with plenty of selection and a great Instagram presence with regular updates, new releases, gift ideas, etc. Personalized service, too. You see something you like, you let em know and theyll hold if for you for same day pick-up! And a newsletter! And a website with e-com! Family-owned and operated. Support small and local businesses!

High recommend shopping your local indie bookstores over big retail or Amazon! They have a lot in stock but if they dont, they will order it for you. They also have a ton of cute gifts for the holiday season.

Lovely, small bookstore with excellent variety. Staff is great at providing recommendations, very friendly. Its not easily seen from the street, so keep your eyes peeled. Parking nearby is also wonky, so you might have to walk a bit to get to it. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Staff are nice, interesting selection, many more obscure titles. Much of their inventory are used titles and small/local imprints you wont find elsewhere.

What a magnificent bookstore! Yes it is small. Lots to choose from for Children and classic literature. The History section was my focus. Plenty of older books to choose from, as in the vast majority. Another section of note is their selection of stationary.

If only they were in Springfield instead, they would be perfect. Okay, that and evening hours for those of us who work! The books are great, the staff is amazing and they go the extra mile to find special orders. New and used books.

Review №47

Adorable bookstore tucked away along the iconic San Marco Blvd. Displays of books and other merchandise are very well done. Childrens items are located in the front of the store. In addition to many books I was already familiar with, this store also introduced me to the BabyLit series of classic books that have been illustrated and adapted for a pre-school / early elementary audience. The staff was friendly and helpful without crossing the line to seem pushy. My five year old was with me for the visit and they were very patient with his antics as he wanted to explore books and touch things. You will pay a slight mark-up over Amazon prices, but at least to me, its worth it to actually be able to browse and discover new titles. I look forward to returning again.
