Ethar El-KatatneyMay 8, 2013Loved this place. Independent bookstore with a wonderful selection of creatively categorized books. Mainstream and eclectic, classics and contemporary. Definitely worth a visit.Upvote5Downvote
sweetpearacerDecember 22, 2015Large, eclectic selection with a heavy focus on politics and academia. Not a great stop for a light read, but plenty for the lifelong learner and fine literature buff.Upvote1Downvote
A favourite among the many bookstores still remaining. The poetry section is almost unrivaled, especially the paper-cover prints. The staff is superb and the conversations fascinating.Upvote1Downvote- Alvaro RabaJanuary 18, 2014Small, yet charming bookstore with a good selection on poetry, literature and politicsUpvote1Downvote
