The staff are incredibly lovely and knowledgeable. There is a little bit of something for each family member in all price ranges.

Huh, never knew that this kind of niche book store existed, but how adorable! The books ranged…read morefrom romantic to more than a little spicy. If you're a vampire, transgendered travelers stuck in Croatia, a bodyguard for a famous actor, a lonely farmer or a gay artist, there was probably a romance book somewhere in the store written just for you. Very welcoming to everyone and anyone. One downside is that the store had some sort of aromatic diffuser, and it was a little too strong for someone like me who is very sensitive to artificial smells.

We liked stopping by this bookstore. Wooden Shoe Books had an array of books on race, social…read morejustice, and so much more. Their prices are a bit higher than you'd expect online or at a chain bookstore, but I find that very justifiable as all of their profits go towards running the shop and other social justice missions. The volunteers at the store were great as well and were happy to answer questions or direct us to where certain books were.

First, to address the person claiming "they are all racist here"…read more This is an ANARCHIST BOOK STORE. They have books on critical race theory, yes. They also have books on queer studies, feminist literature, Muslim education... the list goes on and on. Do you understand what anarchy is? At any rate I seriously doubt the black and brown employees who have or do currently work or volunteer at Wooden Shoe would appreciate being called racist, so why don't you, you know, fuck off and shop somewhere else? That being said. Wooden Shoe is an exceptional resource for books on any number of topics. They tend to skew toward literature on social justice issues that run the gamut, so you're not going to find the latest pop culture biography or new fiction. Books are full price, so expect to pay $35 for a new hardcover, but they also have a ton of $1-5 second hand books, plus a really cool section of free and cheap zines and small print publications. I've been shopping here for it seems like a decade, and as a queer, gender non-conforming biracial person, the idea that they are racist is comical bordering on fully ignorant.

I'm obsessed with how this store is organized. As a mood/trope reader, it made finding my next book…read moreincredibly easy. Instead of shelving everything under one broad "romance" section like most bookstores, they had little signs for different tropes and subgenres--billionaire romance, mafia, fantasy, aliens, and so many more. It was such a refreshing way to browse and made it easy to find exactly what I was in the mood for. I also think the concept of pairing a romance bookstore with a sex shop is incredibly unique. The two are separated into different sections of the store, so if you're only interested in browsing books, you never have to enter the sex shop area. I thought that was a really smart layout because it lets people enjoy whichever part they're comfortable with. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're a romance reader. It's one of the most thoughtfully organized bookstores I've visited, and I'll definitely be back.

I went here for Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) as a way to finally get a feel for the place. I had…read moreheard of Fat Jack's, but I always keep forgetting to check it out considering it's right down the street from Secret Origins. But I figured FCBD was the perfect opportunity since most shops use it as a way to connect with and introduce new patrons to their business. Upon opening the front door, I was immediately greeted by a very friendly cat. I thought, okay, this is my type of place, being a cat guy myself. But that's where the warm feelings end. Unfortunately, the feline was the only friendly personality here as the owner didn't want to acknowledge or make it feel like I was really wanted. (And after reading some of these other reviews, I can see that I'm not alone in that regard.) As for the selection of books itself, there is certainly a HUGE selection of new releases and back issue bins to go through. Unfortunately, all the back issues are priced at market value or higher. Not exactly a competitive price considering all of the other local comic book stores in the same area have much better pricing. Plus, dollar bins.

This is the second location of Fat Jack's Comicrypt. Compared to the Philadelphia location, this…read moreshop is a little smaller, but has one key advantage: Free parking. It's also located next to The House of Fun toy shop. Interior of the shop is nothing to look at; it's rough and could use a renovation. New pull selection of comics was fair, but had a good selection of graphic novels. Almost no wall books to speak of. Where this shop stands out is, like the other location, is the large longbox selection. This takes up the majority of the shops space. An important item worth noting is the shop does have several comic cats. They are friendly and like pets. Overall, while this location could use a renovation, I think it's easier to access and better then the Philadelphia shop.
