Corner-Stone Bookshop

I love coming here. Whenever I enter I have a hard time leaving. There are so many options from local authors to dvds. There is something for everyone. The store and people are friendly and helpful. The prices are fantastic. I never leave empty-​handed. I usually go in looking for 1 specific book and leave $ 50 later with a bag full of treasures. Go often and you will have a new adventure every time. And don’t forget to explore every level. You never know where you will find your next favorite book or author.

This is EXACTLY what a smaller city bookstore should be like. Floor to ceiling jam-​packed with books, roughly ordered by author’s name in an unimaginable number of categories. There’s no bias against paperbacks, something I find most used bookstores make the mistake of. Fiction, mystery, horror, western, etc., are filled with the staple authors, along with plenty you’ve never heard of. I could spend a solid hour in here, and would definitely be leaving with a few new tomes underarm. My favorite part of the store? The «paranormal» section, found on the second floor shoved waaaaaaaay in the back corner on a bookcase turned perpendicular to the wall, with only about 10 inches viewing room. That is exactly where you want to find books on the unusual!

I have never seen so many books crammed into such a small space in my life. Books in the rafters, books above the stairs, books on the ground, books stacked on books stacked on books. I’m not gonna lie, I kinda liked it. Although I was confused by the organization I do hear they have maps. They were playing an old record and I felt like i had stumbled back in time. What a wonderful place to go.
