I am incredibly impressed with this book store and I didn't even purchase anything yet. After bike riding around on a Saturday we stopped in to hang out and look around. The staff was awesome, giving recommendations and proving how well rounded and knowledgeable they were about the authors and selections. I hadn't been to a used and new bookstore in a long time and I forgot how much I loved the varying selections.
I was able to sit and read and look and magazines. I was always asked if I was still doing okay by employees.
The fact that I was not in a commercialized Barnes and Noble or Borders was refreshing. I noticed there was book signings, lower prices, interesting staff choices, and more obscure items. All these things separate Changing Hands as being friendly and more approachable. I really can't wait to get back and look around some more...
