Thank you Book Cellar…read more Kudos to you for having a used bookstore - to get lost in - that smells like a bookstore, but not overpoweringly so - providing a venue to indulge a guilty pleasure - with books in every genre by many authors - that doesn't have a dozen copies of any one book - with books categorized generally even if in fiction it seems to have the same authors in two different spots - with half-price books - that has a great sci-fi section (yay) - showing large numbers to identify a section on the floor and signs at eye level and overhead - that doesn't have employees that hover - that overwhelms, in a good way, And, last but not least: - to require adding more visits to my calendar agenda.

Unfortunately ThebHouse of Books & Tea would fall into the latter category. I've actually visited this bookstore three time. The first time I made a purchase, the second two times was to browse I'm hopes of purchasing and the third time was to offer my assistance volunteeringly. On my third visit I was met with hatred and prejudice and worst - judgement. It's so unfortunate given the nature of their business... selling books. I expected to find a group of creative, free thinking, intellectuals. What I discovered was a person full of hate.and emptiness. I wouldn't waste my time unless of course you are the type of individual to support this type of "thinking."

We just went to This House of Books for the first time yesterday. The general manager was…read moreincredibly hospitable and helped me choose a delicious tea. We came for the children's books, and I was pleased to see many selections I'd yet to see elsewhere. The prices are definitely higher than an online purchase, but you vote with your dollar, and this is one business I'm glad to support where I can! The general manager told me it's actually a book co-op, owned by share holders. It was very interesting to learn about! We will be frequenting this location when we are in the market for new books or just a relaxing cup of tea!

Guess what? They have silver in a size 8 bead, and it isn't a rare thing. Yep, I'm being snarky…read moreabout a different store for a project I'm doing on a denim jacket. My husband and I do mountainman fur trade recreation and this is the best store to get authentic (well authentic as new beads can be, LOL) beads for my beadwork. And they are very nice to help out on steering you in the right direction if you have questions. I've not shopped in the rest of the store but it seems pretty nice. Not cheap wanna-be native american stuff. Or tourist-y stuff.

My husband stopped in the shop to get me an anniversary present--I was not disappointed with beautiful Montana sapphires and a Montana necklace.
