I am passionate about reading, and I love when I encounter other people who are passionate about…read morereading - especially when said people are the ones selling me my books. If you are a fan of books - and can't stand the lackluster service and apathy offered at chain bookstores - this is the place you should be. The store is filled with paperbacks of all genre and category - fantasy, western, thriller, mystery, non-fiction, literary. But I have to admit the store's big draw is the shelves and shelves (and even a back room) of romance novels. And if you're not sure what you're looking for? Just ask - if the staff can't help, you'll probably find another enthusiast in there with an opinion. The store operates a recession-friendly trade policy, too: bring in books and get store credit for 1/2 each book's list price. When you check out, half of the price you pay is taken from your credit. So you are basically paying 1/4 of the list price for each book. Who can beat that?!?!

You can rummage through aisle after aisle of books upon books. See them, feel them and touch them before you buy. They have real live authors coming in for book signings. Yep, real people. They have a local author section. They also have knowledge about how to market a book. All these things are available in person! You must give them a try.

It's a cute bookstore. It's very clean, and really quite spacious. But I confess, I was pretty…read moresurprised by the dearth of books! I guess that's where the "and more" part comes in (and does a lot of heavy lifting). Of the books on display, they had only a single copy (at least out on the floor). And the books were displayed face out, which makes sense when you're trying to catch the attention of young children many of whom can't read, but then when only half of your shelves hold books it's fairly sparse. They also had some stuff from some local purveyors and gifts and stuff. I got some bath stuff to try with my little one to shake up bath time a bit. They have some stuffed animals and stuff. They have some benches and pillows, spaces for kids to hang out and play; one was a wardrobe that was really nicely arranged as a reading nook which my kiddo really enjoyed. (I wish I had the vision to see something like a wardrobe and find that if I take the doors off and anchor it to a wall, it could be a fun place to cuddle up!) Something that's really cool is that they have a fishtank with a couple of axolotls, which my babe was astonished by. The bookstore seems to have a cool thing where you can arrange to have your kid feed them. Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of our visit here was the reason we came. I saw on Instagram that they were having train day, mentioning train books and crafts. My daughter loves trains, so we headed down. I think there were three train books on display. And the "craft" was some half-sheets of paper, crayons, and sheets of stickers that had trains on them. There was another family that had come in at the same time as us and I couldn't help but wonder if they were as let down as I was. I'd been really looking forward to visiting this bookstore--I wanted to about a year ago but hadn't been able to get here. I don't know that I'd come back even if I was nearby, because there are so few books that I don't know I'd want to just stop in to take a look since I'm not sure we'd find anything. Depending upon what's happening I'm not sure what parking is like; there's a good deal of parking down the block near the train station, but otherwise limited street parking.

There is also a U-Pick section, but we did not try that. We thought it funny when we came to the unshucked corn that there were a few signs warning us to not peel back the husk to look at the corn. We followed the rules and trusted in the product, and we were pleasantly surprised. When we cooked it up later, the corn was perfect and tasty. So even though we did not have the fun of peeling the husks, the corn was VG. We will be back.
