The selection of used books is enormous and wonderfully curated, but the true standout is the cookbook section. It is nothing short of amazing! It's a treasure trove of unique community cookbooks from ladies' auxiliaries, churches, schools, and local organizations that you simply cannot find anywhere else. Beyond the books, the prices are amazing, the coffee is great, and the atmosphere is just perfect for browsing. It's the complete package. My only wish is that they would open a location in the RGV so I wouldn't have to drive so far! Until then, we'll gladly make the pilgrimage. Highly, highly recommend to anyone who loves books, treasures, and a good cup of coffee.

I had a hankering for some more classic Tuscan cooking later that day and was looking for an authentic cookbook to satiate my craving (as Endless Pasta can be quite pricey). Luckily, Kailyn, a lovely employee at the store, aided in helping me find the perfect cookbook for my needs, authored by the wonderful Martha Stewart!

Big props to management, who hired such a helpful associate!

The prices, with the frequent promotional discounts (often 15%-35%), are also pretty reasonable. I got a shirt that was usually $22 for $10. I placed an order for a tumbler, and received that within 2 days - 5 DAYS faster than their estimated shipping time! The shirt took the minimum estimated time, which was five days, and it is a very high quality shirt. I would definitely recommend this online store for anyone looking to buy college gear for a friend or family member. Keep an eye on the discounts too! They're great.
