The atmosphere is incredibly charming and cozy, the kind of place you can wander through for a while and lose track of time.

What really stood out to me were the prices--super reasonable, which makes it even more enjoyable to browse and actually walk away with a few great finds without breaking the bank. Overall, it's such a gem of a bookstore. I'll definitely be back anytime I'm in the area!

Just everything under the sun, and they all seem very fairly priced. My son found a number of great kids books, I found a book on Mission style furniture making, and my wife found a number of novels she was interested in. Something for everyone and a lot to look through! TL;DR: Good bookstore, fair priced.

My mom has randomly asked me if I knew a used bookstore with old vet manuals (like for cows, etc) and I happened to walk by this place a couple days later, so I popped in. I found several OLD (1904-ish) farm vet type books. Upon checking out, I told the owner how thrilled I was to find them, and he recommended I go upstairs, second door, second shelf from the top, closest to the window.... he knows every book in the place! And word is he has another warehouse full of books!! They're only open 11-5 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so I plan to go back at 10:59 with snacks and stay the duration. Poor guy is gonna have to throw me out!

To me…read morethe success of a book store such as this one is in making you feel welcome to come in, pick a book off the shelf, and read a page or two in a cozy nook. Given they do not have a huge space, I think they had a smattering of books across various genres. The reading "corners" didn't look particularly inviting to me. Maybe that's coz I went on a very busy rainy summer Saturday afternoon. Also maybe coz I'd just been to the Shaker Mill bookstore in the morning and thought I could spend an entire afternoon (or a weekend!) wandering through the store and perusing their offerings. People working in the store were nice albeit a bit hurried and harried given the aforementioned rainy summer Saturday afternoon rush :)
