A big old barn of books! All new and all 5 bucks! A wide range of fiction, non-fiction, reference, and a fantastic selection of children's books. The staff is laid-back but helpful. It feels like the stacks section of a college library. High shelves, teeming and tumbling with brand-new adoptable books! You feel as if someone is gonna come along and bust you for sneaking into the publisher's warehouse. I could have spent hours there and did get a bit overwhelmed by the vastness but then the owner came along and offered me some direction and suggestions. This is a paradise for people who cannot stop buying books. They are cheap. They are many. They are there for the taking. Okay...after you paid 5 bucks or so....
Pros: Great selection.
