There's also a counter where you can sell your used books. There's plenty of seating throughout the entire store and there's also a very big food court/cafe situation with multiple different businesses. Imagine reading with a side of Mediterranean food- such a dream come true! If Third Place Books was any closer to where I live I fear I would spend all my money here.

Their main stock is varied and shows a real care to not be a cookie cutter that you can appreciate. Tons of pull tabs marking local authors, and recommendations from the workers.

Their cafe and food is a real plus for indoor and outdoor space. A great location overall with private parking as if you are lucky on timing.

Staff is pretty good at trying to find what you're looking for. Maybe the books I wanted were too new, but I wasn't able to find what I was looking for. Very quiet inside and no one bothers you, so it's a nice time to browse through everything. Books are pretty decently priced. Most of the children's books I've never paid more than $5. As for the adult books when I browsed through, I saw them going for $7+ which isn't terrible at all. The price is written in pencil on the first page if you're looking for it.

I arrived just before 5:00 PM on a Thursday. An older man with purple hair was leaving as I arrived. I was the only customer in the store for the hour or so I was there. The owner was behind the counter and we chatted for most that time. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. if it were close to where I live, I'd make it my hangout. Named after an album by The Fall, it's maybe 20x35 ft, with racks lining three walls and another rack in the middle. I shop for vinyl but I saw some CDs and cassettes. Hex Enduction has the best-curated selection of new records I've encountered, and by "new" I mean not new releases but records that are not previously owned. (There are also some new releases.) It has a big selection of used records, too. I ended up with new copies of the Buzzcocks' Singles Going Steady, Radiohead's OK Computer OKNOTOK, and Nirvana's In Utero, plus a clean-looking used copy of CCR's Cosmo's Factory, all from my running list of must-haves. Impulse buys included Brian Eno's Discreet Music, which I'd had on cassette in the early 80s but had never encountered on vinyl; Out in the Storm, by Waxahatchee; and Moon Beams by the Bill Evans Trio. I added a used copy of Hackney Diamonds, by the Stones, because I remembered enjoying it when it came out, and the price was good. There were many more options for future trips. I'm not a punk/hardcore/metal guy, so I didn't spend time with that part of the inventory, but based on my conversation with the owner, I'd expect that section to be very well-selected. I also didn't spend much time with the books, because that wasn't my focus, but they, like the records, appeared well-curated. I will definitely go back!

This is a small shop located on Lakecity. I often like to seek out smaller record shops that carry off the beat and path selections. Hex Enduction delivers.

If you're looking for vinyl, I would highly come here and get a scoop of Little Tiger ice cream after.
