This is one of the most negative and depressing experiences I have ever had with any bookstore. I…read morepurchased a book I had been searching for for years from them as a first edition book for an agreed-upon price of $850. The book was covered in a rare dust jacket, which, if imperfect, was still in fairly good shape. When I received the book, I found it to be a second edition. However, the second edition of this book had the identical jacket to the first edition, making it still a fairly valuable jacket at least. I indicated to the bookstore that they had sold me a second edition copy as a first edition, while still conceding the value of the jacket, and offered to keep it for a small price adjustment in consideration of the difference in value of the actual book, of which the true first edition was worth perhaps $200, and the second edition, perhaps $75. The company, specifically Heidi, demanded that I send the book back, and would offer no reasonable price adjustment based on having sold the jacket not as described. Meanwhile, I had a "friend" who is a much more seasoned collector than I advising me that I absolutely couldn't spend $850 on a second edition book, particularly one that was misadvertised. I really wanted to keep the book but did not want to be taken advantage of by the misinformation provided, so eventually, I had to return the book. I also provided the company with the background information that my "friend," whom they knew by name as someone active in the book industry, had told me what they were asking for the book was inappropriate and unethical, although as I have said 80% of the value was in the jacket, so I didn't mind paying $650 for the jacket and $100 for the later-edition book. Additionally, no apology was ever issued for misinforming me about the edition of the book. At any rate, as soon as I sent the book back, my "friend" called them up and bought it from them for the $750 I would have gladly paid, and which I had asked them in three separate emails to make me whole by doing. At any rate, the "friend" is no longer my friend, and this bookshop acted unreasonably and unethically and shouldn't be in the business, as far as I can see. The owners belong to ABAA, but they certainly don't abide by their standards of ethics. I have no idea why they commandeered the book back and sold it to my "friend" instead of reaching to me and indicating that they were going to sell it for the amount I had offered to compromise on 3-5 times. I would advise staying away, especially if you are a book buyer at a distance.

I'm obsessed with how this store is organized. As a mood/trope reader, it made finding my next book…read moreincredibly easy. Instead of shelving everything under one broad "romance" section like most bookstores, they had little signs for different tropes and subgenres--billionaire romance, mafia, fantasy, aliens, and so many more. It was such a refreshing way to browse and made it easy to find exactly what I was in the mood for. I also think the concept of pairing a romance bookstore with a sex shop is incredibly unique. The two are separated into different sections of the store, so if you're only interested in browsing books, you never have to enter the sex shop area. I thought that was a really smart layout because it lets people enjoy whichever part they're comfortable with. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're a romance reader. It's one of the most thoughtfully organized bookstores I've visited, and I'll definitely be back.

The back issues bins have been upgraded from endless rows of beat-up white paper boxes to a beautiful and easier-to-sift-through shelving system with integrated display bins. The books in that section are two dollars a piece. They also have an extensive new release section and individually priced back issues to go with the higher-priced wall books on display behind the counter. The store owner is friendly and welcoming, too. He can either talk to you all day about comics or just be quiet and let you do your thing. The place is super clean, and on-street parking is easy and convenient, too.
