My favorite used book store in town.

I found the whole experience to be exhilarating! The books were so much more unusual than your typical HPB or thrift store bookshelf. Found a very obscure geology book I've been looking for for ages. Who knew? They have the most extensive and unusual collection. Plus, very willing to negotiate the price.
