I'm a historian and used book dealer, and on both sets of standards I was delighted with Raven Used Books. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable, the stock is amazingly thorough and well-presented, the condition of books offered for sale is uniformly high, and the store's space is cozy without being oppressive. I went to law school here, and this is my first visit in over 20 years. I was deeply saddened to discover that all of the used book stores I used to remember are gone, but Raven is a sign of hope. It's a wonderful store, easily among the best I have ever visited anywhere, and I plan to go back again before I have to leave for home tomorrow morning.
Pros: selection, service, atmosphere
