Went there for a book reading. The staff are excellent, very knowledgeable .
There was a great selection of new and old books and a few chairs for reading in.
There's coffee and food indoors next to the bookstore in a kind of open market type setup, like a 1990s food court. In fact, the mall downstairs at 3rd Place brought back an incredibly nostalgic feeling of being 14 and using my allowance at the mall to buy d&d books.
This place is the best! They usually have everything I'm looking for, and if not, they'll order it. I've often found used books (you wouldn't be able to tell) at a huge discount. There's an eclectic mix of employees which is awesome, and they all seem pretty happy, so I suppose that means their management is treating them well (I value a business that values their employees)!
Anyway, this place is seriously rad. And it's way more fun than ordering books on Amazon!
The store has a help center in the middle and a locations to sell your books at as well.
They sometimes have authors stop in and talk about their books or whatever else authors talk about (I've seen one reading her book to a crowd of folks) and I believe they regularly schedule other events.
The people knew their books and were very helpful. A very community oriented place.
Defiantly worth checking out.
I visited in the early morning. There was a morning crowd at the Cafe. There were a few people scattered about eating breakfast and drinking coffee.
Love this bookstore! Went there for an author's tour and fell in love. Anytime I'm in the area I'm setting aside an hour for this place.
