Buy the Book

I have visited the store three times.

The good:
1. For a small bookstore, they have a pretty good variety of titles. I have been able to pick up quite a few books inexpensively.
2. They aren't picky about books you turn in for credit. They've taken every title I've brought in, no matter how obscure.
3. The staff is friendly.
4. Almost all the children's books are just $2, which makes them $1 if you have store credit.

The bad:
1. Their debit/credit machine is never working. I carry a checkbook, so it hasn't been a problem, but it could be a problem for other visitors.
2. The first time I visited the proprietors were eating McDonald's at the front desk, which made the whole store smell greasy. Yuck.
3. The second time I visited the woman at the front desk had a somewhat personal and confrontational phone conversation with a family member while I was shopping.

All in all, I will continue to visit the store, but pickier customers could get turned off by a seeming lack of professionalism. If the store were spruced up a bit and the staff behaved a little more professionally, I would be raving.
