I am always down to find a new location to satiate my book habit. I popped in to this little shop because I was curious. There was some good, some bad, some - maybe you just need to stop in yourself and see. I'm also one to support small local businesses, so I want to take this shop for what it is and give it a chance!
First, there is clearly no A/C in this shop - I came in around 11am on a weekday and it was SWELTERING hot inside. So keep that in mind... definitely maybe visit earlier in the day or later (at least during the summer).
They had mainly African American literature and children books. They had a pretty wide selection of both considering how small the shop was! I didn't look through everything, but I also saw a good selection of best-sellers.
The books didn't seem that discounted, they were mainly new. I did notice that there were some used books as well.
The shop owner seemed nice and was reading behind the counter while I perused. All in all, it seemed like an okay shop - if you're looking for African American authors, I'd most certainly check out this shop because they had a wide selection. read more
