Rustic, good choice of books. Very comprehensive science fiction section. Well lit. Musty smell of books. Next door to a hookah bar to read when the store closes. Parking directly behind the store. There is a cat on duty.

Such a cute little bookstore!! Their used book prices are fantastic (especially the shelves outside in the parking lot behind the store!!). Very friendly staff as well — and Agatha is the sweetest 🐈 …

Nothing like an independent book store. They have a great selection and like any used book store, the more you visit the better chance of finding that gem you have been looking for or that gem you haven't been looking for. I believe there is...Read More

Such a quaint little shop with plenty of treasures. Love seeing families and kids browsing the shelves here. Always manage to get parking in the back and the cashiers are always helpful.

A fantastic little spot for exploring books. We're from out of town but like to hit up book shops wherever we happen to be visiting. We stopped in here and found several great deals. My teen son left with a huge stack of books. I...Read More

Loved the environment in here, and they had a great selection of books too! Prices were pretty reasonable. If you are allergic to cats, they do have a cat that's in the store. If you love cats then that's probably a plus!

This bookshop is amazing! Small and cozy, jam packed with tons of books in all genres and very well organized. The highlight of many visits is Agatha Christie the resident cat who helps you while you peruse the aisles. I always find something interesting for...Read More

An eclectic selection and a lot of amazingly affordable options (from the buy-one-get-one-free cart outside, I got two books for $1, which is absolutely criminal). Beyond that, a truly lovely vibe and delightful browsing experience with the ultimate addition: a bookstore cat. 10/10.

God bless the independents. This is a wonderful local bookstore with a wide selection of used and new titles. Service was warm and helpful on my first visit. Looking forward to returning to and supporting this culturally valuable South Bay small business
