Support your local bookstore ! Love the selection of magazines, cards/notebooks, and, of course, books . Fun place to browse.

Cheap LPs from cartons of estate sales and other sources, though the vintage albums have moved to the lower shelves and diminished in number and quality. Still fun to spelunk among the dusty vinyl .

Byron Wilkes

This is a carefully curated book store . I enjoy many sections and the diverse offerings have me buying books I wouldn't normally open.

J T

Good selection of unconventional titles. In particular, look at the politics and current events section.
