text: One of my favorite used bookstore The space is a little too large for the amount of stuff they stock but the ambiance is very laid back The store owner is goodnaturedly proprietary about her books and the staff is refreshingly unobtrusive They stock a limited amount of cheap vintage records and some eclectic tarot decks all of which are sealed and unused Cool art and design books as well as an expansive occult scifi and history section They have a separate bookshelf toward the front of the store full of first editions signed and rare books however most of them are overpriced I recommend Academy Fine Books if rare is what you are looking for My only complaint is that some of the books are superficially evaluated by the buying staff consequently on more than one occasion I have read the first two chapters of a book and had the binding completely disintegrate Overall a cool place to spend an afternoon shopping for some unusual finds
