For over three decades we have been committed to providing you a locally owned, full service, neighborhood bookstore.
We offer a thoughtfully curated selection of the latest hardbacks, new paperbacks, and a wide variety of children's books.
We carry a large selection of newspapers and over 150 magazines, from the Economist and New Yorker to Vogue, Runner's World, Scientific American, Bon Appetit, Strategy and Tactics, Ranger Rick, and many, many more.
Our card section is likewise among the best in the city. We have a wide variety of classic and educational toys and games, including science and art kits, music boxes, magic sets, and wooden toys.
(Oh, and did we mention we offer complimentary gift wrapping?)
Our friendly staff currently consists of Bino (event coordinator), Christa, and Cad. Come say hello!
