These books include busty characters and sexually suggestive titles. I spoke to manager Nicholas and he said the books were placed in that location because it was near the rest of the Manga. The regular Manga were on shelves in the aisle while the sexual books are sitting out in the open directly in front of the children's area. When I asked Nicholas if he seen a problem with that he said "that's just where we have them". The proximity of these books near an area that will attract children is disturbing and irresponsible on the manager or whoever put up this display.

I have only shopped in the Jazz record section, but there are also large sections of other records (all genres), CDs (all genres), and DVDs. I can't speak to their breadth. I suggest calling ahead if you're looking for a specific artist, album, etc. There is also a small section of hi-fi equipment but I haven't looked closely at them. Some caveats you might find relevant, but which don't detract from my opinion of the store: - Children under 16 require an adult chaperone. No bags or jackets are allowed. -A sign at the register says sales are 100% guaranteed and returnable within 7 days for full store credit, but new CDs are not returnable for skipping. -I don't believe there is a station to listen to vinyl before buying it. I'd be surprised if there were because it causes damage to unsold merchandise.

It has a small but carefully crafted collection that includes everything from summer reading to rare first editions to signed copies to just plain random local stuff like a guide to unique phrases used in Southern State Legislatures. Prices aren't cheap, but not overpriced either. Staff was very helpful and offered to gift wrap my book when I mentioned it was for my brother's birthday. Random posters on the walls including I think Brueghel's Triumph of Death were pretty awesome. They even sold T-shirts with your favorite literary greats like Steinbeck on the front. Pretty extensive children's section too. Wish I had something like this near me.

They should really put a sign outside saying they've reorganized and cleaned up and have three levels of books. Otherwise people who stopped by when it was old and crappy won't even know.

It is a GREAT used bookstore and would be so in any city. + Handsome--hardwood floors and copious natural light + Four floors of stock + Tidy and well organized + Exceptional variety of subjects and genres + All books in good condition or better (most better) + Staggeringly low prices (to a Chicagoan) + LPs and DVDs Plus, they are operated by the Central Arkansas Library System, so I hope and assume that proceeds from the store benefit the libraries, which is always awesome. On top of all that, I finally found a book here for which I had been searching through dozens of bookstores in several cities for over a year. And although I would have happily taken a shabby paperback, what I found was a boxed, cloth-bound Library of America edition, including several of the author's other works--FOR ONLY SIX DOLLARS! That kind of bookstore good fortune is extraordinary.
