Sometimes they run a BOGO sale and I was able to catch this on Mystery/Suspense Novels and hooked a Hitchcock! Can't beat snagging 2 books for eight books! Great deal! They even take books in on trade to boot. The ladies that work there were very helpful and we found some neat things. They even have a nice selection or rare and first edition novels.

I've been to the book dispensary twice now and I will say, I love how many different types of books…read morethere are. I do have some problems, though. Firstly, the latest time I went, there were boxes of books everywhere, making it impossible to get into most sections. The childrens' section is quite small. The service is ok, but they are very unorganised, they said they had a book that I needed for school but they didn't end up having it. Their book trade in system is quite sloppy, I gave them $200 worth of old books and they gave me $15 worth of book credits. the value is terrible as well. A very rough looking book about Athens, Greece that I bought was $25, originally $25.50. Other than that, I love the place, I just wish it had better organisation and value.

The day came and what a lovely coffee shop to hang out in. They serve coffee, milkshakes, tea, and lunch. It's cozy but open so you can sit on a couch, high table, or play at a table. They have puzzles and games for people to engage in. They have soft music that will relax you. The ladies were lovely and welcoming. Guys just stop by and stay for a cup of whatever you like you won't regret it. Thank you.

It's very quaint and cozy and even has a little book nook for children. Oh and I can't forget that there also a coffee shop. I didn't buy any coffee, but it's nice to know if I wanted to I could. Now it is a little difficult to find as it is tucked inside this other building so just look for The Arcade building that has the Asian noodle restaurant. It's in that building down the hall. I absolutely cannot wait to go back. If you're in the area and you love a cozy little bookstore you've got to stop by. The staff are really nice and helpful. It was just an awesome vibe!
