Re: “Unabridged Bookstore”
Delightful and deliciously exciting titles. Drop in for thirty minutes or an hour. You'll find an assortment of new and older titles that run pretty deep in most subjects. Four large rooms are filled with books from floor to ceiling. The staff is most friendly and will check your laptop or bags, so your hands are free. Nearby is a Caribou coffee shop, Melrose Diner and Joy's Noodles, so it's easy to grab a bite to eat before or afterwards. Enjoy!
