Lots of shelves and books everywhere, but each shelf is home to specific categories of books, and there's LOTS of categories! Looking deeper at each collection, I was really impressed with the range of what I saw. I noticed these two super nice quality cookbooks and snagged them! I didn't realize at first, but the prices of the books seem to be marked in pencil on the first inside page or so, and I got a really good deal (imo!). I was in there for just a few minutes before the clerk/owner noticed me (he was busy in the back I think?) and turned on the AC and some cool music. :) That was appreciated, thank you!! I'll stop by again sometime. This feels like the place you should go to when you're not sure what you want, but you want a great price and rare find!!

I was kinda hoping they would have metal artist pins, but I get it, it's a music store, not a memorabilia shop. Totally worth a trip to warm your heart and fill your ears with great tunes!

The selection honestly blew me away. I found an amazing record (see pic), and I loved the graffiti-style sign and music icon photos on the walls.

The team is fantastic, and the shop itself feels incredibly curated, with some of the best titles I've seen anywhere. I've worked with the team on purchasing via their social media channels and have picked up some really great records. They're always super responsive, and shipping is both reasonable and secure. You can tell a lot of love and heart goes into everything this shop does. My only regret is that I don't live closer.

While it's clearly a hotspot for K-pop merch, it was the photo booths that really won us over. Even though we aren't K-pop fans ourselves, it turned into such a fun family moment. I've always been nostalgic for photo booths and am always down to snap a picture, though the prop luck was definitely "unique"--I somehow ended up in an eggplant hat (and no, I'm not a d**khead!), while my poor wife got stuck with the poop emoji hat. It was all in good fun! It's a great spot to grab some quirky photos and browse through the latest K-pop swag.

They carry new and old books with VERY large selections. Their manga and comic section is really great, and I love to pop in to see what's new. I think they understand there's lots of art students nearby that love these books! :) Thank you, book alley. They helped me snag a specific book I really wanted to avoid buying from amazon, and couldn't find anywhere else! Make sure, if you're in the same boat, give them a call and ask if they can do the same for you! It might incur a fee, but they got my book to me within a week and I didn't have to pay extra! :) Wahoo!

Book Alley is a cool place to browse if you love books and records. They have a great mix of new…read moreand used books, and it's the kind of bookstore where you can easily lose track of time wandering the shelves. The staff on the floor are engaging and genuinely helpful when you're searching for a particular find. That said, my experience selling books was disappointing. The process felt impersonal, and the seller/owner was not particularly engaging. One example: I brought in a brand-new book that originally cost $40 and was offered only a $1 store credit. I understand used bookstores have to make a profit, but the experience left me feeling like my books would have been better off in a friend's library. Great place to browse and buy, but I would lower expectations if you're planning to sell.
