Awesome little store inside of the great Vienna Cafe. Pricing is no inexpensive for used. Typically half the original price. Most are in good quality. Very unique finds at times due to Nelsonites being well read. Can find spiritual gems if you dig. Lots of novels. Overall an epic place. I've bought 100s of books here, many long out of print or rare, over the years.

You enter by walking through the often busy Vienna cafe, then turn into a little maze of books which are clearly organized by subject or labeled in general groupings. You can establish a credit at the store by bringing books in (I didn't do this since I'm not a local) and each book you purchase has listed a price (for example $10) which can be paid in full or split in half between cash and credit. Good selection!

Went in not expecting much as it was described as a used book store. Left knowing I’ll be buying both used and new vinyl records as often as possible. Talked with Annie and was great to do so. Very knowledgeable, friendly and willing to find what you’re looking for if it’s not already in her stock. Great variety of records and books!!!

My dream store! The perfect blend of bookshelves overflowing with used books, and a small, good selection of new and used vinyl. If I lived nearby you bet I'd be in here weekly. Lovely owners. Please get Instagram! <3

Excellent bookstore with attached cafe, wonderful experience! Whoever thought to put the "meditation" book section next to "hockey" was absolutely inspired. Great vinyl selection, too!
