NEAT.
I love bookstores. Scratch that: I LOVE bookstores. I would probably wither away and expire if the places didn't exist. So I was understandably pretty excited when I caught wind of a new bookstore Downtown.
It's small and hidden a little farther down Fremont where they are still building in new things for the area, but I walked in and was instantly impressed. A lot of interesting niche titles that you don't always see, but the choices were solid, and I really liked how well everything was laid out in the store. They also have a unique selection of toys and other little collectible items that really caught my attention.
I could have easily browsed around the books a little more, but I didn't have too much time. The staff seemed friendly and helpful. I do wish they had a little coffee in the store, and books and coffee just fit well together like... books and coffee.
They are still in their "soft opening" phase, but I could easily see myself killing time down there, perusing books. Honestly, I'm thrilled to see such a thing hit Downtown. It seems to bode well for the expansion of the area.
I will most definitely return. If they continue on the path they seem to be heading on, this may be a new hangout for me.
