5 star rating

Category: Bookstores

Probably the best bookstore I have ever been to that is devoted to Sci-Fi and Fantasy (also a selection of Horror).  Great selection, both used and new, and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful :-)   I will definitely go back, again, and again...and again...    (also, if you're bothered by disorganized bookshelves in bookstores - you have no need to worry here!!!)
