This is one of the most negative and depressing experiences I have ever had with any bookstore. I…read morepurchased a book I had been searching for for years from them as a first edition book for an agreed-upon price of $850. The book was covered in a rare dust jacket, which, if imperfect, was still in fairly good shape. When I received the book, I found it to be a second edition. However, the second edition of this book had the identical jacket to the first edition, making it still a fairly valuable jacket at least. I indicated to the bookstore that they had sold me a second edition copy as a first edition, while still conceding the value of the jacket, and offered to keep it for a small price adjustment in consideration of the difference in value of the actual book, of which the true first edition was worth perhaps $200, and the second edition, perhaps $75. The company, specifically Heidi, demanded that I send the book back, and would offer no reasonable price adjustment based on having sold the jacket not as described. Meanwhile, I had a "friend" who is a much more seasoned collector than I advising me that I absolutely couldn't spend $850 on a second edition book, particularly one that was misadvertised. I really wanted to keep the book but did not want to be taken advantage of by the misinformation provided, so eventually, I had to return the book. I also provided the company with the background information that my "friend," whom they knew by name as someone active in the book industry, had told me what they were asking for the book was inappropriate and unethical, although as I have said 80% of the value was in the jacket, so I didn't mind paying $650 for the jacket and $100 for the later-edition book. Additionally, no apology was ever issued for misinforming me about the edition of the book. At any rate, as soon as I sent the book back, my "friend" called them up and bought it from them for the $750 I would have gladly paid, and which I had asked them in three separate emails to make me whole by doing. At any rate, the "friend" is no longer my friend, and this bookshop acted unreasonably and unethically and shouldn't be in the business, as far as I can see. The owners belong to ABAA, but they certainly don't abide by their standards of ethics. I have no idea why they commandeered the book back and sold it to my "friend" instead of reaching to me and indicating that they were going to sell it for the amount I had offered to compromise on 3-5 times. I would advise staying away, especially if you are a book buyer at a distance.

This place has recently undergone a HUGE renovation. Gone is the dingy lighting and walls of…read moremagazines and books and sub par toy offerings. The new look is brightly lit and the magazines and videos have been replaced by racks of toys and playtime clothing. The toy selection has undergone a SERIOUS update. Gone are the cheap items made with dodgy materials from no name manufacturers. They've been replaced with mid and high tier selections for every experience level. The live girl shows are still here. There is a theater upstairs where the video booths used to be. Entry costs money unless you come as a couple. And to help accommodate more weekend fun, the store and theater are now open 24 hours on Friday and Saturday.

Experiencing the Ida environment was like visiting an art museum where you could touch the exhibit pieces, buy them if interested, learn about others, and think about how to enjoy, display, read and learn from the written word. And, the colors, the tones, the paint on the walls - add to the vibe. And...then the way that the kind sales guy packaged my books in twine so that I (or my husband did) carried my books as people use to do in the old days, when paper bags were not needed and there was pride in walking out with a stack of your new (or used) books for your reading pleasure. Go go go and open yourself to a new bookstore experience. You will not be disappointed.

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.

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.

I had a lot of great memories and still have most of the books he sold to me even now.
