Review Summary
Christian Ericksen
These guys have an amazing selection and are the nicest group of people.
Hero Fall
The man who works there Saturday and Sundays treats customers like trash.
Patrick Buechner
Small but packed sci-fi and fantasy bookstore and comic shop.
Sky Aoi
A lovely shop with an incredible selection. Inspiring, enchanting (dragons and cats and the most fun photos you could ask for from a bookstore!), with great people who have superb taste in all printed material.
Hero Fall
The man who works there Saturday and Sundays treats customers like trash. He needs help or whoever runs the business should talk some sense into him for not only lying but also bringing up attitude and insulting me. Been shopping here for almost a year and a half now and he has been the worst aspect of it by far.
Sins Of Wanderlust
An amazing journey back in time. Few places like this exist anymore and even fewer with an owner filled with passion about comic books. Worth a visit even if you are not into comics.
