Besides the wide selection of used books, there is a nicely curated collection of new comics. A lot of good comic classics, and fun issues of science fiction magazines like Analog and Asimov's.

I stumbled upon this place on New Year's Eve to search for books on Ancient Egypt. I found plenty of nice books and purchased them. It was quiet and has a very cozy and nostalgic feel to it. I would recommend this place and will return!

Smells delightful! Lots of books. Also carries VDs and DVDs. Exactly what you expect in a used bookstore.

This bookstore is a neat little place with a whole lot of books set up by genres to make it easy to find what you are looking for. Each section is set up by authors last name to help you find that particular author you are searching for. They have an abundance amount of vinyl records again set up by artist. I wasn't greeted by the employee, as he was busy working in his work area and I was there to look for books. When I had a question about where a certain genre was located, he politely showed me where to find it. I will be back to look again in the future. A must check out for any type of reader.

A true bookworms delight. Books as high and low as the eye can see and no one trying to help you. You don't even have to talk to anyone if you don't want to. The atmosphere is hypnotic and relaxing. Love it!

Really cool little place. Great assortment of used books and vtnil. But the reason I keep coming is their comic book section. The best Indy section in Durham. Awesome discount graphic novels and much more. The staff are super friendly and helpful. A true hidden gem.

I donated a box of used books to this used book store which was founded in 1983.I wrote an email to Mr. Gordon last week,who told me that they accepted donation of used books.
