I’ve been here a couple of times and I absolutely love this place! I would go every Saturday if I could!

I was in town over the holiday and my dad took me to this gem of a bookstore. I scored a first edition of a Hunter S Thompson collection for next to nothing. Later that day I returned with an old friend and we both found a handful of collectible editions by Tom Robbins, Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway, and Henry Miller. The only possible weak(ish) link was the lack of a philosophy section. I’ve visited bookstores from coast to coast and in Europe. This place holds its own with the best of them. I’ll be back.

Such a great place to buy books!!

I love Bob’s. He’s amazing. I could spend hours in there. Unfortunately today the princess was too tired!! But she got done pretty great books as well!! He always has bargains. You can’t go wrong!! Thank you for being so awesome!!!

Great selection of books to browse through. Prices low enough you can’t leave without buying a couple. Great customer service, very knowledgeable about the area & book recommendations. Stop in & grab a couple books, even if just passing through. You won’t regret it.

It is so good that bookstores like these still exist. Lots of chairs and places to sit. Great service and very helpful folks . I was looking in 4 boxes of books that had just come in. They didn’t scold me because they weren’t priced yet, as has happened in other stores but had me stack them and a gave me a great price for the lot.

Hands down my favorite book store. Great history selection!
