I've been giving this store my patronage for the past 12 years or so (since I was a whelp :) and this is THE best bookstore for anyone with a kid. (That's any age kid, by the way, not just below 15 or something.) The staff are VERY helpful and friendly, and every one of them is a real READER of books. They can order any book you like, but the books that are actually stocked in the store are a specifically selected range. All the very best fantasy/YA series are here from Percy Jackson, to Twilight, to Diana Wynne Jones (the queen of YA fantasy, R.I.P.) and of course Harry Potter, Spiderwick chronicles, Lemony Snicket, Eragon, and on and on. In my opinion you can't beat this store for browsing, since the cream of the crop is what they have in the store, and the atmosphere beats B&N, Borders and similar stores hands down. I didn't mention sci-fi there's not as much of that as fantasy, but you'll find Orson Scott Card and others of the best, and of course if you think there's something they should be stocking you can always tell them.

I do ALL my new book purchasing through this store. I'd like to help keep them going! They provide services that Amazon or B&N simply cannot.
