Amazing collection of rare books. It's a pleasure to browse whenever I am in town. Definitely worth stopping by. But let them know if there is something you need.

A friend of mine who is from Oregon visited this Las Vegas store to find out more about a book I had in my collection. They didn't respond to me.

It was a really nice location. I expected a bookstore with lots of rare or unusual books. A place where you could find some amazing stuff. But it wasn't that. More of a museum than a bookshop.

It is one of the best places to visit if you are a book lover. I recommend it highly. The greatest was a first edition Principia By Newton Wish I could afford.

Beautiful old books. If I was rich, I would have bought it out. The worker was friendly even though we said we were not going to buy anything right away but wanted to see stuff in the future.
