I love stumbling across little gems like Once and Future Books. This charming cottage, turned…read morebookstore, was formerly known as Rainbow Books. It has since been completely overhauled and renamed by Rediscovered Bookshop in downtown. As a children's book writer, I'm also an avid collector of children's picture books. Once and Future offers a great selection of gently used books at bargain prices. For example, I found a signed copy of Whoopi Goldberg's book Alice for an incredible bargain price of $6! (Granted, it's personalized "Thank You, Samantha!" in gold lettering, but I'm ok with that!) There are all sorts of nooks and crannies to discover treasures galore, plus lots of book-lover novelties such as bookends, stickers and buttons. Check this place out, I'm sure you'll love it! There is ample parking in the back lot, don't get a ticket by parking on the street.

Seriously - only bookstore I've been to in the world where when asking for a specific first edition the reaction isn't to check or even chat, but simply to glare and go; "You know that's really rare, right? Like, expensive." You can literally be standing there with a fistful of cash and get this reaction here. Utterly foul people.

Well, maybe not entirely classical as there was a bit of Katy Perry's "Fight Song" set to violin and that was pretty sweet too. Add the friendly "welcome to the store" when we walked in (through the music section...and they have vinyl records there...do people still play vinyl...I remember when it was the only option) and we were inclined to like this B&N right out of the gate. All of the constructive criticism offered by Charles F in his good review are spot on. This is like a gigantic swap meet in some respects too with the old records and he racks and bins of deep discount books along with best sellers. But depending on what one is looking for, that could come in handy too. And then there is the huge selection of their regular stock. And a big children's section if you are trying to encourage children to learn the value and delights of holding a good old fashioned book in their hands and diving into the world of possibilities books hold for them. We went in for what we thought would be an hour and but for needing to be somewhere else, we reluctantly left two hours later with still more shopping we could have done. The customer service people were very helpful too. There was a specific book in which I was interested and while they had one on the shelf the book was damaged. Or as the service person says, "This looks manhandled." Yep. And since I plan to display it, that is a problem. She offered to order another one for us and have it delivered to our home or to the store. Nice. We took her up on it. (I'm doubtful though...this book is out of print...if the book actually arrives this will be 5 stars. :-) ) We three years after moving to the Treasure Valley to explore Boise's Barnes and Noble. We will go back soon. THIS N THAT: 1) PARKING: Private lot which seemed to have lots of space. 2) ACCESSIBILITY: Accessible parking in lot. Level in and throughout the store. Aisleways are ample. Coffee bar is "set up" but there is a ramp on one side. Standard height seating in coffee area. Accessible loo for him and her. 3) COFFEE BAR: We didn't sample the brew or snacks there, but there is a coffee bar in the middle of the store that appears to offer both Seattle's Best and Starbuck's. Several tables with chairs and a few stools at a high counter. The tables had lots of people reading and working at them.
