I have been in here 3 times now. The first time was on a super busy day, so hard to say then how it was. This past week I went back twice. I was VERY please with the atmosphere, and the pleasant people I came into contact with who worked there, Bob being one of them. I was able to take my time and look through what they had, and the prices were amazing. I am definitely coming here first from now on for my favorite novels.

Great selection and great prices. I had a gift card and was able to buy more than I could carry and I still have some to spend later!

Today was the first time going to this bookstore and I would give it 100 stars. The place is so organized and the people that run it are so helpful. I don’t know their names but the owner knows what he is doing and the lady that helped has been there 18years. They had all the hardback books of John Grisham I needed to complete my list. I will be going back next Friday to top off my list. Thank you so much for being there and helping. CHECK IT OUT……
