Review by Chris Atkins

This is a good old fashioned book store. When you walk in you smell the books. The also sell old records and postcards. It's worth your time to just stop in and enjoy stepping back in time.

Review by Devin Collins

Allison is a knowledgeable buyer and a helpful host. This is a great store for digging through the shelves and stacks to find an obscure novel or out of print edition paperback. The lovely kind of shop where the book finds you. There is a good selection of literature and the classics, history, poetry, children/YA, and philosophy, and there are some cool finds related to the local horror/Lovecraft scene to be had as well. It smells great, has nice people, and the books are a good mix of what’s expected and some nice surprises. A very respectable used bookstore of the sort where Bastian ducked into at the beginning of The Neverending Story. A place one might discover an arcane tome that led a previous reader to attempt arcane rituals no sane mind could expect to perform and remain unchanged. Or a place where you can pick up a used copy of Moby Dick to read on the plane. In other words, the perfect used bookstore.

Review by Eileen Pavese

Charming. Charming and chock full of wonderful books, LPs, prints, unusual antiques. Allison is welcoming and friendly and she knows books. Words can not describe the place; one must go there and experience it.

What is a Dispensary?

A dispensary is a store that sells special items or dispenses the specialized items. Cannabis or marijuana dispensariers started in the US some time in the early 1990’s when Dennis Peron opend the San Francisro Cannbis Buyers Club. Back then the cannabis dispensary faced a ton of hardships, but Dennis, his team and dream helped pave the future for all future recreational and medical cannabis dispensaries. In 2014 the first recreational dispensary, 3D Cannabis opened it’s doors in Colorado. As of 4-1-19 33 states have medical dispensaries and 10 states have recreational dispensaries.

At a dispnsary one will find many differnt kinds of cannabis flowers (buds) and concentrates, edibles along with smoking untensils, but have a limited selection compared to online shops like Elev8 Glass Gallery. The dispensary also will have what is called a budtender to help you find what you are looking for. If you need help with cannabis info Elev8 Presents is a good resource.

What is the difference between a medical or recreational dispensary?

In realtiy medical and recreational dispensaries are the same thing. This all comes down to the states laws on cannabis. We feel cannabis is just like alcohol and medical will happen first and then recreational will follow, and so far history is showing this. Dispensaries are an excellent place for patients and recreational smokers alike to find the cannabis that best suits their needs!
