On the other hand, I brought six books in great condition and not run of the mill (for instance, an extra copy I had of the recently published complete notebooks of Camus), and the buyer gave me $12.00 in credit for the whole stack. She also explained that the online account I set up before the move doesn't sync with the store's new account system. If I wanted to redeem the credit, I'd have to come into the store. So much for convenience. Here's a suggestion: use my credit to help an in-store customer who doesn't have enough of their own to buy a desired book. Honestly, I won't mind. BTW, Ramona the exquisite husky spirit of Uncharted Books no longer visits the store. According to the frugal buyer, because Ramona is older now, it's harder for her to tolerate customers' comings and goings. Love you, Ramona, and thank you, Tanner, for sharing her with us. Finally, if you'd like to help Uncharted Books besides shopping in person, you can find them on bookshop.org.

If you want to sell your typical used books to them, you will receive store credit. But I think they're pretty generous with the credit they give you. It's nice to have credit and just walk in and pick something out and they ring it up on your tab. It almost feels like getting a new book for free. When I don't know what I want to read next, this is a great place to go. Service is super friendly. If you have an idea of what you want but aren't finding it, just ask!

Old books, too many piles to clean around and strong incense equals poor air quality.

The first time I visited was for an Elle Kennedy author meet-and-greet, and the second was for an authorless release party for her new book, Love Song. Both events were so thoughtfully put together and created such a fun and welcoming environment for readers. You can tell right away that this is a bookstore that really cares about its community. The staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely excited about books, which makes the whole experience feel even more special. They made everything run smoothly during both events while still keeping things relaxed and enjoyable, which is not always easy with bigger crowds. One of my favorite parts is how unique the store is. They have adorable selfie rooms that make it so fun to take pictures while you are there, and they sell the cutest stickers along with a ton of book accessories. It feels like more than just a bookstore; it is an experience. What really stands out to me is how worth it this place is, even if you have to go out of your way to get there. It is completely worth the drive. Both times I have gone, I have left feeling so happy I made the trip. There is just something about being surrounded by people who love reading as much as you do that makes it such a good experience. If you are into romance books, looking for your next good read, or even just want a cozy bookstore with a great atmosphere, I cannot recommend this place enough. They also host such fun events, which makes every visit feel a little different and exciting. I have loved every visit so far and already cannot wait for the next time I get to go back.

If you're looking for tarot cards, they have all kinds starting at $26. They have the standard ones to Native American cards. They have all kinds of stones that start at $7.

The person I talked to that worked there was very knowledgeable. She knew a lot about each stone and tarot. She answered all my questions thoroughly. They also do spells!
