| - Absolutely everything about our visit was grand; my fiancé and I arrived at different times, and were promptly and personably greeted by different workers. I'd always wanted to stop in but never managed to come by during business hours, and though my pocketbook likely thanks its lucky stars for that, I cannot believe that I'd ever thought to go anywhere else for books.
They have an entire second suite in the strip mall just for overstock, largely fantasy and sci-fi, that we could both happily lose ourselves in for hours if not careful. I found old Conan novels and forgotten Arthur Clarke short stories, and she found Stephen King anthologies and almost literally every other kind of novel, tome or chapbook we could ever hope to find. They have leather-bound sets of the classics, mass-market paperbacks, and so many other treasures that it really must be beheld to truly appreciate. If you like words and the lingering aroma of vanillin, check them out.
The prices are very fair for the quality and selection of books, and they offer trade value for books as well. You may find somewhat cheaper prices at thrift shops, but none of them have the commitment or level of service that Amber Unicorn shows its customers and its books.
