Book Alley has a great selection of art and architecture books, a nice collection of first editions and truly enticing bargain racks outside, where I found my $2 copy of Barbara Tuchman’s The March of Folly what a score especially to read in 2026 AHEM. Very friendly staff as well but they need to make some tote bags to sell!!!

Love this place. Plenty of hidden gems and new arrivals. They have comics, vinyl, some cds and tapes too. Pretty clean and well organized. Always a pleasure to look around. Staff is super nice and helpful.

Found a 75 year old technical manual at this store. Beyond simply having it, the person I spoke with verified with certainty that the manual was the correct version I was looking for and that it was in good shape. I really wasn't expecting this level of care that this rare book got to someone that will love it, but the person I spoke with really was interested in making sure I got what I was after. I really couldn't be more pleasantly surprised.
