Great spots to buy books! Friendly service! They got book clubs and a graphic novel section which I personally enjoy. Just enough space to move past people and bookshelves. Lots of stickers to select at check out register. They have a good children’s section as well. Chill ambiance. Decent parking nearby. I would come here again 🙂 I like reading the community flyers and papers hence its photo
I really loved this place. Traveled over three hours to visit a couple of places. This store is so beautiful and inviting and the staff were super helpful and friendly. Lots of cute merch too. My favorite buys of the day came from here
Loved the selection, especially the section highlighting Arab American Heritage Month in April. The space was larger than I was expecting, the store goes in quite deep. There were a lot of people in the store on the Saturday that I visited, which was great to see. Will be back!!
Nice smallish bookstore. They're new prints, and unfortunately for me, almost entirely fiction. They had a small section of mostly biographies that I found a few interesting titles in. I ended up only purchasing a gift for someone else. If I had more time I might've stuck around for their guest speaker/author how was setting up when I walked in. I did have a pleasant conversation with the cashier, who confirmed I had good taste in bars and breweries. I'll think of them when I'm ready to read/buy some more Olivia Butler and hangout down the street.
Great bookstore — tons of options and recent titles of all kinds. I especially liked their essay collection right at the front door! My only qualm with City Lit is everyonce and a while you will pick up a paperback that you would assume to be in the 15-20 dollar range (or somewhere above or below there) and it turns out to be +40$. Not all the books have labels on them with their cost which is okay, I just wasn't expecting a 200 page essay paperback book to be in the 40$ range.
