| - This book store is amazing! When I first saw it, and saw the sign for 'used books', I pictured a dark, musty book store wtih old, beat-up, yellow-paged books. Never judge a book by it's cover (no pun intended)....
The first time I walked in, I was SHOCKED! First of all, the store is a lot bigger than it looks on the outside. On the inside, it does not seem like a used bookstore at all! It's more like a hipper Barne's and Noble, crossed with Urban Outfitters.....not dark or musty at all. There's a big section of cool gifts, cards, even hats and teapots and pottery. It's very colorful inside, and it smells like incense (which I happen to like).
They are really picky about the books they choose to re-sale...they are all in excellent condition, and you can actually find a lot of recent and popular books (cooking, craft, fiction, non-fiction) that you would find at a big chain book store, but for less. In fact, after finding this local gem, I don't see how I could justify buying my books from the big guys anymore.....
Staff is friendly and helpful....oh, and it's right next to Wild Flower Bread Company (there is an entrance inside the bookstore to it) which is an added bonus. :)
