Nicollet Book Store

Decided to walk in because there were cute parrot figures in the window. Also there were some bargain books outside but it was too cold to really check out that selection. They had some Ayn Rand, C.S. Lewis and Tolkein books. Overall though it felt more like an antique shop than a bookstore. They had postcards and antique accessories. Even a radio blasting npr in the back complete with a cassette player. Didn’t actually check what cassette was actually in there although it did bring back fond memories of my childhood. The old lady up front was super friendly and made some recommendations based on my boyfriend’s taste in books. Overall though there was not a huge selection to choose from. Neat place to check out, but not sure if there’s any strong incentive to come back unless I am looking for something really rare/​vintage.
