    This was in the mystery section. I think that's Agatha Christie

    "Support your Local Bookstore!" I was on my way to the local brewery when I spotted this new little store. It's not huge, but they make the most of their space. I can't recall the last time I saw a new independent bookstore Parking was not a problem. Be careful when exiting, however. Traffic coming from the tunnel can surprise you. The independent bookstore is a vanishing breed, so I was delighted to check out this little store. The store is clean and perfectly laid out. I had no trouble finding various sections that I was interested in. They have both books for adults as well as children. They also have some specials. I also appreciate the little notes about staff picks, or reviews from the staff. Just one suggestion: Suggest staff actually talk to customers, rather than watch videos.

    Very clean & well organized book shop with easy parking. Good sized selection of sale books as well. Staff were friendly w out being intrusive. Found a mystery book whose author I'd been hearing about, also bought a puzzle & a kids' book as gifts. Lots of super cute cards, socks, art supplies gift type items interspersed w books.

    I bought books there and really liked all the stuff they had. The person that waited on me was very nice.

They're really helpful. They have a few long boxes set up in the front with 1 dollar comics and 5 dollar graphic novels in the front of the store. Singles are kept in the 1$ long boxes which include a lot Marvel, Image, Valiant, Ultraverse comics from the 90s, you'll also find some DC and vertigo titles as well. Sifting through these boxes gave me flashbacks of when I was a comic collector in the 90s. Towards the back left and back wall of the store, you'll find shelves of graphic novels, omnibus, and other collected editions. Back issues are set up on a large table in the back. You can find a mixed selection of different titles from Silver age to modern. I found surprising inventory of certain title runs. I have a bit more exploring to do in this store. Crush carries good comic storage stuff - boxes, bags and boards (BCW brand) on the right side of the store.

There's even a children's section in the front. It brought back memories of my own childhood. Plus the staff is very welcoming, helpful, and kind!
