It could be a cool, unique place if anything was actually affordable.
I found exactly what I wanted to while I was in there, some vintage magazines to make collages with! The only thing that struck me as weird was that while I was looking through some books in the back stacks, as I thought I was alone, I saw this man sitting in the dark corner in the back about 8 feet away from me. He didn't say anything but he was there sitting on the ground with no shoes on just giggling to himself.... it surprised me so badly that I gasped and then immediately left because I was creeped out.
Way overpriced, for example it's $5 each for old dog eared series paperbacks. Random crap blocking half the aisles that would take just 10 minutes to move if they would bother to do it. Maybe they're trying to be quirky, but it's just a big cluttered mess. Most of the store is pitch black or too dim to read titles, you need to use your phone to see. They had a pretty good selection of books, but the prices were ridiculous, for what they charge you might as well just buy the book brand new.
Exceedingly overpriced, checking out is an experience in itself as the owner claims to be looking up the value of the book on the web to get the current "fair" price so you don't know what you're going to pay until you check out. Save your money and time and hit up the yard sales and goodwill bookstore you'll be much further ahead.
What a local gem! I could stay in here all day. Any and every book (and movies too) that you could ever desire. The staff is also incredibly helpful with buying and selling any books you may not have use for any longer. A must for any literary enthusiast finding themselves in Tallahassee.
If you’re looking to serendipitously find a book, this is the place! Love it. Really is a mine. Take a few mins to get lost and explore.
