This place is pretty amazing - it’s like you’re waking into a piece of history. Every nook and corner has something interesting and unique! It’s like walking into another world where books and their characters come to life. I feel like we were in a museum in a sense that you don’t want to touch anything as a lot of pieces in there were old and full of character and intricate details. The lady who ran the place today was friendly and full of information. Some rooms were roped off so we couldn’t actually walk into them - but more of a presentational display of antique first edition books, with themes of different movies or a time era. I love the uniqueness of this place and felt like I needed to pay respect to our history and the books that were carefully preserved and cared for, to tell us of our past. I appreciate rare stores like these, as there’s not many left that have “character” on its walls!
This is a really neat bookstore that turns shopping into an experience. The interior is designed to look like multiple 19 century shops. Each shop has a different theme of literature with rare items on display. The selection of rare books to buy is impressive and reasonably priced. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable on much of the literature, its age, and little facts. Even if you aren’t interested in buying items, it’s fun to look around. Books start as low as $25, and quickly go up into the thousands.
Spent over an hour enjoying the collections. Such an incredible experience! The owner Reid Moon was there and offered to show us a few of his favorite treasures. Highly recommend spending time and listening to the staff, knowledgeable and friendly.
Very impressive collection of books. However, the staff was very unpleasant and short with me as I posed simple questions to them to help me understand the collection better. I don’t see a need to go again really. I wanted to love this place.
Such a fun place. I have been multiple times and the tour guides are always very enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
