Amazing books is awesome. I enjoy sitting and reading the books. Eric is also really cool to talk too.
Outstanding service and very nice stuff and store. Highly recommend!!!!
Small vinyl selection. No good deals to be had though at the time. All the stuff nobody wants is a few bucks, and all the stuff people want is similar to ebay pricing. Lot of books, of that's your medium. Clerk was nice.
So i finally made my way down to this businesses location and i must be honest this place is vastly better then the squirrel hill location in the sense its cleaner and more welcoming, but the selection is terrible (clearly the owner seems to have a favorite store; i wonder why?)first off the building was cold because apparently there is no heat so i wondered why the owner would have these employees working in such poor conditions, there aren't any good books reasonably priced and the record selection is non-existent unless you want warped copies of mass produced lonely dad rock. The employees there were very knowledgeable on subjects in both music and literature that seems to surpass the owner i met a few weeks ago, Chuck and tom (tim?) they were nice and gave an atmosphere of friendliness they even recommended a few items i plan on buy from abetter store. I gave this location a better score solely because of the employees.
I had walked by this store for years and never felt the need to enter but i had decided to give it a shot and i immediately regretted it, the entryway was dirty and the stairway leading down dangerously cluttered. It was atleast a solid 10 minutes before i had entered the store before i was acknowledged by the employeee sitting in what can only be described as a nest of dirt and cut paper hunched over his laptop. I began looking at a few books and it was terribly obvious that their books were overpriced for their condition and that their records were insulting on how much they charged for literal rubbish. Finally the employee mazed his way out of the nest of filth to introduced himself as the owner shockingly; he was unkempt and scraggly and smelled of old beans but we all have our bad days so i disregard that though he gave a fake interest and an air of prpretentious. Not to my surprise the rest of the store was covered in messes of books dangerously stacked and actual sawdust on the ground, i was surprised to see that they actually had flooring under all this chaos ( i can firmly get behind a store feeling cozy and unique but this was clearly from neglect and lack of caring) . Too end it short i do not plan on going back to this store anytime soon though ive heard they have two other locations so i may stop by those later this week
It's hard to make money in the used book selling business, and spending lots of money on buying used books (even in excellent condition) is a losing game. Give them a break about this sort of thing. Excellent service, friendly staff.
This store is aptly named. Chuck and Rahmeer are great at what they do. And from what I read of their collaborative writing is mind blowing.
Lots of vintage books and records. They have hard to find stuff.
Great selection
