I stopped in here today on a whim. The employee repeatedly brought up fascism and claimed we are living under a dictatorship, insisting that I take flyers about the current political climate. The irony is that a bookstore like this—framing itself as “revolutionary” and openly promoting ideas about dictatorship, fascism, LGBTQ issues, and modern-day slavery—would not exist under an actual fascist regime. In such systems, only books that praise or reinforce the ruling ideology are permitted. That contradiction made the messaging feel more like extreme leftist propaganda than serious critique, to the point of being almost comical. I still purchased a gift for a friend, but the anti-Trump rhetoric was truly over the top. I’m just a normie trying to buy a book.

Amazing bookstore to find alternative viewpoints from what society considers the truth. Great place to challenge your belief system.

Amazing and diverse literature, especially unique titles you won't find at more mainstream bookstores. 1 star reviews are very obviously from bigots who have never even been to the state, dog piling on to harass the store – ignore those. Good atmosphere & friendly staff who helped us find multiple specific titles. They gave us good recommendations for local events and speakers as well!

There was the most amazing selections of political, social, race ect. theory: history in every part of the world: philosophy:fiction books.
