“The best service I’ve ever received in a bookstore. A lovely girl near the YA section who was putting away books, noticed the books in my hand and as I was on the last book of the series, she made some awesome recommendations on what to read next. She was spot on! Thank you!” – Bree Elliott

“Fantastic book store. With so many fascinating books that are hard to obtain elsewhere it is hard to walk out of here with only one or two. The staff are also extremely knowledgeable about the literature they are selling and are lovely to chat with. I would go there every day if I could.” – Bob Malooga
