Used bookstore occupies a gutted restaurant space with signs reflecting its past, creating a collector’s basement vibe. The atmosphere is no-frills and somewhat in progress, with a modest selection of gently used books, vinyls, CDs, and DVDs priced under $7. Shelves include extensive nonfiction and children's sections, with general fiction neatly organized by author.
