| - I kick myself for not visiting this place sooner. As I prepared for a long airplane ride home for the Holidays I planned to stock up on reading materials at the library. The book that I wanted the very most was supposed to be at the E. Flamingo library location. Normally, I would request the book, but my flight was the next day. So, I drive all the way across town to find the online library data was incorrect. Not wanting to pay full retail at Barnes & Noble, I decided to try Amber Unicorn. I halfway expected to find a bookstore with limited selection, but that could not have been farther from the truth. The store was very well stocked with a great variety of books, which are well organized. I definitely did not expect to find the 1 book that I really wanted. When I asked one of the friendly owners, not only did they have it, but she lead me right to the book. She said oh yes, that book came in 2 days ago. She took me to the next door storage area, which was also well organized. It appears to be a couple that owns the store, and they are extremely nice and helpful. I walked out with 5 books and the 1 book I had been searching for, and my total came to a whopping $22. If you're like me and don't carry cash often, don't worry because they do take credit cards. They have an impressive inventory, and are happy to make recommendations if you tell them some of the genres that you enjoy. The store is located in the same shopping plaza with Trader Joe's at Decatur & Sahara. The next time I go I plan to bring a box of books to sell.
