    The crafts section was so great. I could have spent many hours there. I didn't notice a bathroom so…read morehad to bail. I understand the homeless situation makes bathrooms scarce around here but I wish I could have stayed longer. Very helpful eager and kind staff. There was a lady who asked for "fiction that's not depressing for grownups". I would have had no idea! The young man working didn't even hesitate and helped her until she was happy.

    I have been going to tin can mailman since I was a kid in the late 1980's. I love this bookstore…read morefiercely and have found so many fabulous treasures here over the years. Used to be an easy 5/5 stars. Recently I visited in late August 2026, and was completely appalled at the lack of books, empty shelves everywhere and total disorder of the entire store, especially upstairs (ommmg the art section??? The architecture section? The automotive manual section???????? Wtf) There are hundreds of books everywhere in the process of being damaged due to neglectful haphazard organization and what I can only attest to current workers not doing their jobs, AND not enough books being acquired by the store since they implemented their slow-paced book intake by months-out-appointment only policy, which has had the result of tons of empty shelves all over the store. The disarray of upstairs book sections was just unbelievable, shocking and deeply upsetting- what was once neat and tidy was just a huge awful careless mess. I was compelled to prop up diagonal, fallen-over stacks of books all over the store when I was visiting which was highly distracting from my usual positive book perusing experience there. There are books all over the floor and books too tall being shoved into short shelves, which causes all of the books that fit to shift over diagonally . What the heck, please please please hire someone who is highly skilled at organization and actually cares about the state of the shop, and get more books on the shelves by bringing back your old book intake policy to fill the shelves up so there isn't room for things to fall over. Get it together, this shop is such a treasure, and currently it just feels like something is deeply wrong and some cog in the machine is missing. I have a big pile of awesome valuable art books I have wanting to bring to sell to the shop for the last year and a half but I keep getting put off by the months long wait. This scheduled waiting system does not work for forgetful folks like me who live in the moment and have a helluva time keeping distant appointments in the future. I'm sure I am not the only one.

    This review is just for the help I received on the phone regarding the property taxes on my…read morerecently-acquired Shelter Cove property. The gentleman who answered the phone for the Assessor's office was very nice and patient with me as I explained my issue. He resolved it quickly, which was a relief! I know gov't workers have a bad rep (hey, I'm a state worker myself), but this fellow was the antithesis of what you'd expect to hear on the other end of the phone when dealing with city/county/state tax issues! Well done, sir, whoever you were :)

    This is the most uncontrolled, un-regulated office in the entire county. I have NEVER been treated…read moreso rudely by ANYONE in my entire life, let alone as by the TAXPAYER PAID EMPLOYEES (public servants) as I have been by this office staff and an elected official. The staff is condescending and so intoxicated by their power over others its sickening. I was so put off I drove (45 min) to their office, asked to meet with the assessor and was ignored for 20-25 minutes the whole time being able to overhear their conversations regarding my visit to their counter. I was referred to in many derogatory terms and was pretty much told that they hold all the power and I'm a petty taxpayer that doesn't know anything and, to shut up and pay my assessment...which was wrong...has since been proven so...and not surprisingly not one sign of an apology from this corrupt office. This office is an embarrassment to the county and should be audited immediately!
