Little Professor Book Center

This book store is really awesome. Downstairs they have lots of new books. There are really nice versions of classics such as Dracula, and Dante’s Inferno. Upstairs, there are really cheap used books. I love how the store is laid out, and I really want to come back here to get the cool copy of Dracula for school.

An awesome little book store. I say little, but that’s misleading. The place has everything you could ever want. The staff is friendly, there’s tons of cool books, and there’s a nice café in the back. It’s all you could ever hope for in a book store! I used to buy books at big stores (Amazon, B&N, etc.) but I am forever changed. Little Professor is awesome. Go local.

We visited this store today and it has a café in the back. It’s a decent size for an independent bookstore — and in addition to very good fiction & children’s book sections, they have a good selection of local interest books and also a nice selection of pretty journals.

There’s something about a spiral staircase in the middle of the store to let you know this place is just right. This place is for a real lover of books.
This is no superstore to browse then go home and order off the Internet. Nor does it have an unwieldy selection. What it does have is quality. When I pull a book off the shelf, I am confident that the writing is good and worth my time; that it is not a waste of my money. I don’t have that kind of confidence in one of those super-​sized bookstores.
Little Professor does some things very right: the table immediately in front if you when you walk in the doors has some newer releases that you might find interesting. But it’s not just some «staff pick» and you don’t have to take their word that it’s good: sticking out the top is a newspaper clipping with a review.
If you’re the book-​club type, it’s got a calendar with book-​club meeting times and a special bookshelf that stocks what books the book clubs are reading.
Upstairs is a used book section. Also upstairs: local interest and magazines. I really like that they carry some international magazines; it helps me keep up on my french.
The folks working downstairs are very knowledgable. There’s no need for them to get on the computer to look up _​The Crucible_​to know it’s a play or that it’s by Arthur Miller. They know it and they know where it is in the store to go fetch it.
There’s also a café attached if you’re the eat-​and-​read type.
