Strange and wonderful little bookstore selling books of all kind and oddities from different eras. They got VHS, a great mystery and science fiction section alongside some great western stuff too. Worth checking out for sure.

When you walk into "Jim Reed Books", you are whisked into another world. It is an amazing place with books ranging not only in breadth of topic, but in age as well.

Very eclectic place to find just about any books you’re looking for. They also have cassette tape CDs video tapes. The owner is very knowledgeable and very friendly. He will help you find whatever you’re looking for. This is a great place to go on Saturday afternoon just to find that one book you’ve been looking for
