An easy place to spend hours in. My favorite bookstore by a long shot - excellent employee recommendations, great author events , tons of in-house food options. Much better than the Ravenna location.

Joanne Tosti-Vasey

Lots and lots of good used books and a great variety of eateries .

Not bad, but it would be nice to have a second place book every once in a while. I'm probably not good enough for a first place book , so I guess that's OK.
