Basically the only “classic” used book store in Durham/Chapel Hill left. Feels like a library you can buy from. Everything else in the area is too clean, too curated, at least for my tastes. Walk in here with $50 in your wallet and you walk out with a years’ worth of reading.

Bought two CDs for $11. Most of the selection is 90's and earlier. I would recommend it to anyone searching for some reasonably priced, vintage CDs!

I've been coming here for years. Definitely an authentic hidden gem in Durham. They're just so few places like this left in the world.

Good selection. Smells like books as soon as you walk in. Dark inside. Okay pricing. They are inside when you open the cover. Accepts cards too.
