You wouldn't know it, but there is a large amount of comics and comic collectibles in this store…read more I have been going here since I was in elementary school because of the cheap used books, but more recently the store opened up what I like to call 'The Geek Area' which is where you can find some of the best comics in Temple (especially since Kopriva's Collectibles closed down). They also buy used books, which is great for those of us who don't collect a large amount of books. Yes, that means I have never sold any books here, but I have bought a lot. So continue selling them books that I will eventually own. Only downside to the place is the staff. They virtually ignore you until you get up to the counter and they also don't seem to be real interested in most geek stuff or culture, which is weird considering the back room. I mean, someone had to catalog all that stuff right? There has to be a geek working there somewhere! Finally, the smell. If you're a book lover like I am, you love that old book smell (the sweet smell of vanillin). You can smell the books going down the stairs to the front door. It's like a nerd lure just pulling you down into literary heaven.

Google will get you into the right area, but you'll have to go through a pizza joint's seating area and head towards the big painting to access the entrance. What a cool experience! Walking in, you're immediately transported to a dark, eerie and ominous yet welcoming room. A full bar on the left? Bookstore with seats on the right? Wow yes please! I went to visit the bar and was impressed by its selective, but adequate spread of options. I ordered a summer spritz and went to go look at the books available. I love how they section off into the different genres while adequately having a good seating area. If you're in the area to explore, this place is it for some good reads and studying. Nice dark but appropriately enhanced environment for some quiet time!

I really like this place. I'm a bibliophile, myself. I have way too many books to read in my…read morelifetime; I suppose part of my book obsession isn't only about reading the of books, and extends to the finding and curating of a book collection, as no working dad has the time for reading the entire library that I'm building. Idk. Maybe I'm just preparing myself for a retirement spent in the books--either way, I have a habit of buying too many. Thus, it's rare that I leave a bookstore without a few or more in hand. In this case, I only purchased one upon my first visit to Fletcher's, and I believe the reason I purchased so few is simply that it's so difficult to sort through the books here unless one has much time to meander and stare at every book on the shelves and tables--and, for the tables/islands of books in the middle of the room, one must have time to pick up books stack by stack to search through them, else you can't actually see what the books are; it's like losing sight of the trees for the forest. Still, upon my visit, I did find one book that I've been meaning to purchase for years, and it happened to be in one of the stacks I picked up. I suppose there's something cathartic about picking up a stack of mystery books and searching through, hoping for a gem. It's a bit like gambling. Although, I simply did not have time in this visit to linger longer and meander through all the mystery piles. It is for the reason of accessibility--though the search may be fun--that I do deduct one star from my review. Were it easier to find books on the tables, I suppose I would leave a 5-Star review. And, on the surface, they really seem a 5-star independent bookshop. They have so much packed into such a quaint and whimsical location; I really loved the ambiance. The antiques were a nice addition--I'm now convinced that all book shops should double as antique shops with stained glass windows and panels such as this. It's gorgeous. And, yet, again, I still wish it were easier to search through these mountains of books on the tables. So, will I go back? ABAOLUTELY! and you should, too--but plan to need longer than expected to find books of interest. They're there--you just have to search through their tables thoroughly.
