This is a cute little shop! I went with some friends for Free Comic Book Day and was nervous…read morebecause of the broken website but they had a great selection of FCBD comics. It seemed that everyone there was an experienced comic enjoyer and I felt a little bit like I was stepping on toes, but no one was rude and the man behind the counter was friendly. This was my first time in a comic book store so I don't have much to compare it too but the whole time me and my friends were saying it was a neat place! Definitely could use a working website though, and the lack of recent Yelp reviews made me worried it wasn't even open, so I'm leaving a review for posterity.

For a mom-and-pop comic shop, they had an okay selection. Nothing too exciting but a decent…read moreselection for their space. The store lacks signage / labeling for what product is in what area. The prices are pretty reasonable but the guy who works there isn't very friendly.

This was my second time visiting west Lafayette, and I had some time to kill before meeting with my…read morestudent so I decided to explore. Happened across this store and was excited to check it out, I was browsing the books, and walked to each different section, there were so many fun crystals, clothes and Knick nacks! I could have spent hours browsing, but I'm glad I was able to find some fun treasures! Can't wait to go back!

I could spend all day in Von's, just because it's so big! Every topic under the sun. If you don't…read morego downstairs you miss 60% of their stock of books.

They have the cutest little children's section with new and used books (including many I haven't…read moreheard of) and toys. Whenever we need a gift for a kid, this is always the place I head to first. You can also buy books online and they will deliver them to you (locally) for free. I also appreciate their concern for safety during the pandemic. They're the only local business I know of that kept their mask mandate in place after the CDC guidance in May 2021 that vaccinated people didn't need to wear masks. Since many people in Indiana aren't fully vaccinated and most no longer where masks except where required, I don't really feel comfortable taking my unvaccinated child many places and I appreciate Second Flight Books' concern for children under 12 (and high risk adults). I know they've taken some heat for this policy, so I just want them to know how much it was and still is appreciated by our family.

Well organized for a small space, do not forget the basement! They have a sister store downtown too. Value is typical for a small store. The prices are of course not eBay however directly supporting a local business is goals these days. Staff was relaxed, everything was clean, and I will be back!

This was the most whimsical surprise. At first glance this is a college used bookstore where you…read morecan buy beads, incense and records. Don't stop there. The magic lies below. The stairs are steep, but proceed slowly and visit the basement used books. I spent more than an hour. It is organized into sections by subjects, but there is no card catalog. Imagine the best book smelling old school library with history and culture and most eclectic mix of books that you've ever experienced in your life. Most of them run between $4 to $8. Wander. Soak it in. It made me rewind in time thirty years. It will cure all stress and transport to times of old. I miss bookstores like this!!! I left with 8 used books. This place is good for the soul.

The shop is very clean and, unlike many stores of this nature, you can walk around without fear of creating a domino-effect of falling knick-knacks. I saw a really interesting German bicycle here recently - it was from the early 1970s and was made in West German, which I thought was neat. The shop owner was very knowledgeable about the bike and was able to tell me a little history on it.

I'm afraid to say that being a retail business is hard, and sometimes people get worn out from it. That said this is a solid shop, and there is a lot of inventory that changes ALL THE TIME ! I know I've been there and bought stuff for 25 years!). The owner operators have hearts of gold, but it's hard to show it every day for 30+ years! People love the quirks of the "TV show" people, but when they encounter real people... run to the internet and "trash them". Be kind... it's a store that is unlike any other for 200 miles or more. They support the kids of this community in many ways for many years, sure they may have pissed a few people off, but like I said, they have hearts of gold and more often than not are kind and helpful. Running retail for 30 years isn't easy.
