    Fun store! Large selection of old and new collectibles. It's a little crowded, but lots to look at.

    My boyfriend and I are obsessed with bookstores. We can't go anywhere without finding a local…read morebookstore to poke around in for a few hours. I knew about this place since I grew up in the area, so on one of our trips "back home" to the area I brought my boyfriend here. Now every time we visit, we grab a coffee from next door (Templeton's) and pop into Books in Stock to peruse the many, many, MANY shelves of books for at least a couple of hours, and always leave with a stack or two of wonderful finds. Apart from the vast selection that spans every genre you could possibly think of, the atmosphere in this shop is the true soul of this place. Two floors packed full of books (and that comforting old-book-smell) with chairs here and there should you care to plop down for a literary adventure. We've frequented many bookstores in many states, and this is still our favorite one. You'll almost always find what you're looking for - and probably leave with several books you didn't know you needed when you walked in.

    I found an absolutely gorgeous set of His Dark Materials from 2008. Just stunning books. Great…read moreprice on them too. This place is really great if you're looking for "their type"...which seemed to be Christian definitely, nationalist maybe...so if you're into that you'll love it. There WERE sections for diverse topics-they were just either empty or nearly so. Maybe a bunch of witchy liberal first peoples recently came through and they haven't recovered? There were whole aisles devoted to Christian books. All in all, not diverse but they do have nice books if you are looking for what they carry.

    So if I was all about records, this would be the spot for me. Blackbird was opened recently as a…read moresort of natural extension of the Operation: Fandom store just next door. For them it was a no-brainer when the original Lucky Records was going out of business. Over there it's nerdy stuff and toys, here you can channel that Clockwork Orange vibe I suppose. The store sign has a cool retro feel to it. The window is filled with random cardboard cutouts and pillows. Maybe as they gain their footing there will be more rhyme and reason to the window display. When I went inside, I immediately took notice of a few Walkman portable cassette players in a display case. Gave me kind of a smile and a moment to think "Wow, what a time to be alive!" I'm not that old and I did use one of those as a kid. They're not QUITE collector's items yet I don't think... That aside, there is also a blackboard just inside the door with release dates and albums listed. It includes artists both from the past and present. Wall to wall is lined with vinyl below eye-level and paintings and pictures at eye level. There are even 7 inch vinyls and a $1 bargain rack that you could peruse for hours. There's a sizeable shelf-load of CDs in the back, a cool leather sofa and branded memorabilia including mugs and shirts a-la-Blackbird. There were at least five other people browsing the selection intently when I cruised through. It not really being my thing, I was in and out quickly. However, I can still highly recommend the place if you're looking for a record in town or just looking to burn some time in a place that fits your fancy.
