This is an excellent bookshop , on par with Powell 's (though smaller!), and Strand (though closer!).

Long live independent bookstores ! Sometimes, you'll get lucky and stumble upon a reading. Stay and listen even if you've never heard of the author !

Maybe the best used book store in the Twin Cities ! Plus it's next to Amazing Thailand and their Tom Yum Soup !

Is way bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside... very cool little book stop, though pales in comparison to Powell 's City of Books (Portland, OR)
