A review of this place: fabulous independent bookstore & then some
Good selection especially in fiction and children’s books, and they buy & sell used books too. They have author events about 3-4 nights a week and a big community space with a stage and several restaurants called Third Place Commons. In the summer there’s a farmer’s market in the parking lot. The bookstore is pretty big, comparable to a Borders or Barnes & Noble but independently owned. I always like the random gifty items they carry.
