This copy of Ayn Rand's philosophy is interesting not only because of the content, but it is also signed by the queen of objectivism herself. It is among several other interesting items on our shelves, and online.

Did you know giving/reading ghost, supernatural, and horror stories was once a Christmas tradition? Authors from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Virginia Woolf, and Charles Dickens, to R. L. Stevenson, Edgar Allan Poe, and Algernon Blackwood, and many more, all wrote chilling ghost stories to prepare for the holiday season. Whether you are looking to revive this festive tradition, or haven't stopped celebrating the spooky season, we have a newly formed Horror/Ghost Story section to browse, and buy from!

We are open 10-5:30, 7 days a week (including Christmas Eve).
