They sell just about any hippie or new age item you could want: books, reference books, spellbooks, tarot cards, incense, incense holders, sage smudge sticks, candles, crystals, wands, singing bowls, deity figurines, totem animal statues, prayer flags, and embossed velvet bags to hold all the pretties in. They even have a "reader" (which I presume is of the tarot card or palm variety) in the shop on most weekends. But you don't need to be a earth magic practioner or wood nymph to enjoy On Purpose's wares. They also have plenty of gifts, cards, art, gorgrous jewelry and home & garden decor. The friendly staff will be happy to help you find whatever you're looking for.

They just don't have too many bookstores left like this one. As the name suggests, you can bring your gently used books in and they will keep a record of them, and you will receive a discount of roughly half off of whatever you decide to buy in exchange for bringing in your old books. This turns out to be a great value considering the good condition and broad variety of the books that they carry. We can always find something good to read, and the price is definitely always easy on the pocketbook. The lovely people who work here are very well informed. I was looking for a classic by Pearl S Buck, and she knew exactly where it was located in the store. I have confidence in these guys, and I know that I can check with them before I go look elsewhere. A must see for any avid reader or bibliophile.
