The service was really nice. There are a lot of older books and not as many newer books. I did think that the sections were well organized and alphabetized so it made it easier to search through. The prices were good as well. It's a nice place to come and browse and look for a hidden gem of a read.

I don't even know how to begin to describe this store. So many floors I believe five? For a book…read morelover it's like visiting the Mecca of Midwest bookstores.

Warning: Make sure you're not gonna be doing any other shopping after you stop in here because you're gonna walk out with plenty of books!

A bookstore with a resident cat! I could not resist stopping in. The store seems small but a lot…read moreis crammed in, including some really kitschy cool decor (many discreet 'not for sale' signs to be noted) as well as a lot of items featuring cats that resemble Winnie, the shop cat. There also is a second floor which may be dedicated to a children's area; not positive as I didn't go up there. I am always on the lookout for old books as in 70-plus years, but not a whole lot in that department here as far as sorted items. There was a big stack of aged books but not catalogued. Believe me, I would have gladly pulled up a stool and reviewed the entire stack but as is often the case, the impatient husband was waiting in the car so I couldn't prolong my visit. I did grab a great sci-fi classic by Isaac Asimov; the book is pretty beat up but one dollar! Also spotted a tote bag featuring cats and books so that went home with me for sure. There are places to sit if you want to chill and read for a while. The lady behind the counter indicated that I could contact them for any old books I am searching for. Happy that they have Sunday hours and looking forward to a future visit.

The selection is great. And the organization is honestly amazing for a used bookstore. I love pretty close, so this is a dangerous discovery. Can't get over the prices! My only qualms with the store come from the service; the woman checking us out was wildly unfriendly.
