Very neat book store. Lots of old books from floor to ceiling. They have a $1 book section outside that remains on honor system 24 hrs. And the bookstore has a beautiful mascot, Peter the cat. Worth a visit to just look or pick up a book for purchase. Definitely a unique find and worth the stop.

What a magical little place. If you love books and exploring cool places, this ones for you. Staff is very nice, and it's like something out of a movie inside. Outside is a regular small plaza, but inside, it's a different world.

Love this book store. It's like stepping through time. So many books, I had to show strong control and only purchase a few, otherwise this is the kind a place you can spend hours in and find a book for every mood. Just wonderful. The music in the background just adds to the experience. The cat on premises is adorable, just lays there. I love books and am a collector, but even if your not that obsessed like me it's a great place to go, relax and look at the incredible collections. Will definitely be back. The crowds are great not to overly crowded today, definitely worth the drive.

I wish I could rate this place 100 times!!!! We have made the trip there twice now 4.5 hours from where we live and I have left with a huge stack of books each time, shocked by how inexpensive it is. My son loves the free children’s books and the cat that I hope lives forever. Also, love the man who works there! He is perfect for that store.

Oh how I love the smell of books! What a charming store filled with all kinds of books, periodicals, prints etc. From the outside you would never guess how magical it is inside. There is a bit of a Harry Potter vibe with floor to ceiling walls of books, sliding ladders, cabinets with curious collectibles to browse. The lighting was on the dimmer side and added to the feel of the shop. I was on the hunt for a specific book and the very kind owner was happy to locate it for me in what seemed like a secret location. I never would have found it. There is also a sweet little kitty that greets you at the door. Loved it! Will definitely return.

What an incredible find! For anyone who is a self-declared bibliophile, this will be your DisneyLand! In an unassuming strip mall, this gorgeous book-cave of wonders unveils its hidden treasures the minute you walk through the door! I could have spent the entire day here, tbh! From just the massive amount and variety of books (old, new, and everything in between), to the aesthetic that makes you feel like you've not only wandered into a different era, but a different place altogether; reminiscent of rustic bookshops you might find abroad or in NYC w/its floor to ceiling shelves housing antique tomes and modern page-turners...there is honestly something here for everyone and anyone from collector to bookworm! The owner was super nice; he will leave you to your perusing, but is readily available for questions or just to share info on any book, relic, or whatever you find to ask about. I left with 3 books and bargain bin find 1836 handpainted/sketched lithograph from a Parisienne magazine for under $30!? The quality, ambiance, and fun finds are just unparalleled here; honestly one of the BEST hidden bookstore gems in the US!
