  Authors, publishers, and book designers DO NOT want their unfinished product sold to the public. The galleys are marked "not for sale" for a reason. They are given for free to give book store owners etc a taste of what's to come. Shame on any store that violates this unwritten agreement.

  Really disappointed to see a cart of advanced reader copies (ARCs or galleys) for sale in this store. These are unfinished copies of books that publishers have sent them for free and are not to be resold which is clearly stated on the covers. After bringing this to the attention of the manager it was clear that he was completely aware and completely uncaring of his unethical practice. There are so many hard working people that work endlessly to write and manufacture and publish books. This practice does all of them a disservice and shows a complete lack of respect for the publishing industry. Spend your money elsewhere.

  Do not shop here! This store illegally sells uncorrected proofs, which are for presale purposes only and the store owner gets for free. This means the store owner is directly taking away sales from everyone that works so hard to produce the book. As if that isn’t enough, they are also being sold at high prices. Warning to book publishers: do not send your galleys to this store. As unethical as it gets.

  Solid indie bookstore with a decent selection and pretty universally good prices. While nothing here is a bargain, there is a lot to find and you will not overpay. Worth a visit

  The best bookstore in the city, hands down. Great books, great prices. Good people. And, get this!: They don't sell socks! wowee!
