Awesome book shop! All of the books I found/purchased are in really good condition and very well organized. Its nice they’re organized by alphabet with authors last names, that helped me a lot searching for a few specific authors and believe it or not they had everything I searched for- Walter Rodney and Octavia Butler among many other amazing authors. This shop is highly curated and well maintained with a very helpful owner/storekeeper. I will definitely be back. I also asked for a specific book and it was ordered on the spot and I was told I’d be emailed when it’s available. I couldn’t ask for anything more from a local book shop.

Adorable bookstore with a distinct point of view. I spent so long browsing the zines, book collection, and tech kits. The staff were also very friendly. Wish I were local since they seem to have lots of local events. Make sure to check this place out!

Adorable community-oriented indie bookstore and hackerspace with a distinct voice that’s reminiscent of the kinds of places you nowadays only see in nostalgic movies from the ‘90s. They have the most serious selection of zines I’ve seen in a while. They also sell cool little gadgets and hardware like raspberry pis. The highly curated book selection focuses on themes like politics, climate, cybersecurity, DIY culture, mutual aid, social theory and random fun stuff!

Love it here, a great community center if you’re into computer tinkering (and other things)!
