Wonderful book store. Museum of Find Memories is accurate. David and Jim are so genuine. Honest people that greet you with warmth. They have a way of digging out the truth that helps when you aren't quite certain what you are seeking. Love visiting. Only wish I could get here more often. It is a beautiful space. You should explore it yourself. You deserve that much.
