Love this place. Great place to shop for new and used book and even a good selection of records…read more The variety of books is really good and what I would expect in a good used/new bookstore. Nice to find a little something for all interests. Prices on used books seemed to be reasonable and records were hit and miss for price, some seemed a bit high but I could also be a little out of touch.

Selling local earthen ware, beeswax candles, records, with a grand piano on hand. Chairs are set in places for people to "pick up and read," and has that magical "the right book will find you today," feel. Prices are so reasonable. A must for book lovers.

What I wasn't expecting was the fabulous greeting by the 30 something male cashier. "Vivian Gornick - she's so wonderful." We proceeded to discuss much of her work. Delighted to hear his appreciation of the 89 y/o fearless second-wave feminist thinker!

If you are looking for a book Smith Family is a great place to go. They have used and new books…read more Smith Family is a two store bookstore filled with books. Something that they do is they buy used books from 10:00am-12:00pm. The people here are great and very helpful and they will direct you in the direction so you will find your book of choice faster.

I came in here with my husband this afternoon and fell in love with this store. We drove by it a…read morefew days ago and I knew I needed to stop in. We walked in and were immediately greeted. The staff working were so kind, funny, and helpful. They obviously love their jobs and are passionate about books. The store is small but clean and comfortable. It has a great selection of older and newer books. I found several vintage cookbooks, a gift for a family member, and I'm coming back around Christmas just for their kid section. We bought five books total and only spent $85-ish. The books I found were totally worth the price. It was like hitting the jackpot. Would I return? Oh my yes! Over and over again. This is such an amazing small local business to support, and I will be a lifelong customer.

This is the comic book shop that you see in your head when you think "Comics"…read more A mix of latest release, toys, models, and boxes and boxes of old comics in their sleeves, resident in white boxes. Like a LOT of white comic boxes. Organization is not the prime directive here, but the selection, new/used/valuable is good and the staff is the right amount of nerdy knowledgeable with out being nerdy elitist - you know the type... "Oh, you just started collecting TMNT and don't know about Groo the Wanderer..." Prices are retail for new stuff. A sleeve and board will set you back $0.25. Collectables are priced in line with the Overstreet guide, but they can be a little optimistic on the grading, so margin hard. I have never sold any used comics to them (hoarder!) and I cannot speak to pricing there, but they are legit is every other aspect that I have dealt with this on. In short, this is where I buy my local comics for myself and as gifts.

Before we browsed the vast bookshelves we enjoyed mugs of excellent coffee. And if that wasn't enough we found a secret passage leading to a most amazing homemade donut shop.
