A bookstore and coffee shop store all together! Yes we have one of these, even here in Vegas. Nestled in the middle of nowhere downtown is yes a bookstore. A coffee shop with a huge selection of books. It reminds me of wandering through a Powells bookstore in Portland. We came to see this vision and were just blown away. The writers block was encouraging and inspiring. The employees here emphasized kindness and compassion. The store design is truly magical. It's something that needs to be shared and appreciated. Come and join the conversation. Have the best of days ahead with your projects completed with the best of intentions and surroundings. Now welcome to the writers block and all the fun that awaits you.

I am happy that I finally got to go to a used book store here in Vegas…read more I was looking for a copy of When the Wind Blows by James Patterson. I received a message back immediately and they saved a copy for me. I came and explored. They have tarot cards, stickers, and lots of interesting books to choose from. I think that the price of the books are reasonable. I would love to return and see if they have copies of books from other authors that I enjoy.

A book how it breathes life and makes an individual feel happy and alive…read more Our most recent visit here was "just because!" After home schooling the kids for over a decade this was our favorite place to be. Much has changed over the years, but the importance is this. This Barnes and Noble has gotten just better ! The kids area has evolved into something better. Having children with special needs they carry an excellent sensory experience area where an individual can purchase and use as needed for their children. The book selection is designed well. It comes with a reading area for the little ones. Try the book out before you go home. If you're into the manga reads they can order what you don't have, as needed. They have an excellent selection of this genre . It's the twins favorite things to read at the moment. It's a little bit of everything for all sorts of different tastes. The point is you're just reading. If you need your caffeine and a little nook to read your book they have a cafe with coffee and snacks. It's just a place to come and visit and relax. Find a new book and enjoy life. The value for our books has gone up recently but it's still worth the money. Now let's get busy and build more brain power and create something better for all to see . Read and learn the secrets of the world. Let the staff here be your guide.

Las Vegas used to be a haven for book & used book lovers, but the market has changed, and now all bookstores struggle. I understand and sympathize with that.

A local, world-renowned chef in Sin City, Chef Boy Satan, passed away…read more This rare original issue of Propaganda circa 1994 was formerly his, but Shwa Laytart of Avantpop gently passed the torch into my possession. RIP, mate~ // I have always fancied the solitary aspect of immersing in literary works. It is, however, concurrently delightful to strike up a conversation in an independent bookstore with fellow overzealous ''reading freaks,'' as noted in a reflection one is bound to catch in its chambers. 'twas such a pleasure witnessing Laytart being equally as enraptured as me when he spoke about death, oddities, and literature, hah~ x // When geomagnetic storms ignited luminescent polar auroras and when the lines of magnetic force between Earth and the sun intersected with one another, the center of the "X" spot where the lines met was where a magnetic portal formed: Avantpop Bookstore. Anyhow, if you are ever in Sin City, fire up your rocket's spark igniters and make your way to new land. Quoting Aunt Ida from Female Trouble (1974), ''The world of the heterosexual is a sick and boring life.'' Upholstered with revolutionary scholars, the Beat Generation, Gonzo journalism, political defiance, banned classics, local artists and activists, rare gems, individualistic figures of all sorts, and the filth of John Waters, you are, rest assured, in for a ''Divine,'' queer experience. Parallel to that thought, if you ever synthesize a penchant for somber, witty poetry, luxuriate yourself in some of Avantpop co-owner, Laytart's, written works-best served with a joint in hand. In the course of frolicking around the shelves, you may wonder how much your birth mother despises you, but ahhh, you need not fret for you will be reminded Gaia loathes your guts just as much. When asked to solve for x, the Chris Korda piece that lies before you hints the solution: X = Save the planet; kill yourself. *Whistles Dada in the streets of Boston to the tune of The Smiths' ''Panic on the streets of London.''* At some point, I am quite certain you will start to hear Rod Serling narrate your life. Where has this review even gone? Oh, the places you will go~ x Overall, you will be departing from the shop glowing in the dark, developing an itch you cannot scratch, which forms a gaping hole in your torso, and leaving you to wonder if the intestine emerged before the tapeworm~ x
