An enormous collection of used, rare, and out-of-print titles make this the city's best mystery, espionage, detective, and thriller bookshop. Author appearances and other special events are regularly scheduled. There's even 2 hours of free parking before 6pm in the adjacent structure just north of the store entrance.
