As a book lover, I consider Bookends a place I could spend hours and really lose myself in. Unlike the big-name retail book/music stores with cafes, Bookends carries both new and used titles and has that familiar neighborhood feel to it. Yes, you can peruse dog-eared copies and never-before-owned books all in one place. Books are found not only on shelves, but in stacks on floors and on tables throughout the store. Organization is not the greatest (however most books are categorized) but the fun part is sifting through the titles and discovering works you'd never heard of before. Bookends offers mainstream to offbeat and everything in between.
