Love this bookstore! Great variety of cute books! And the owner is so humorous !
Mr.Otto has a outstanding personality! I came to his bookstore yesterday with my two children and mom to shop for books and he was really very helpfull and very kind! He gave us a great discount too! I am highly recommending this bookstore not just because of the wonderful character of the owner but the selection of the books, there’s variety of books here that you won’t see to the other bookstore! See you soon Mr.Ottoman! We’ll be back to shop for more!
I went to high school with Mr. Otto and I am not surprised at all the reviews about his humor and kindness. We were not best friends or anything like that, but I have no memory of seeing anything but a smile on his face and a playful twinkle in his eye. Next time you are in his shop, ask him about his Water Polo days: He always had a lot of fun and entertaining stories about his adventures in the pool and what goes on under the water out of sight of the referees. He's not a braggart, so he probably won't tell you this, but he was our team captain and the league's MVP.
**CHILDREN’S BOOKSTORE** It wasn’t very clear from google that this is in fact a used bookstore meant for children. I came here as an adult looking for adults but was surprised to find it entirely for children. Still, the store was absolutely adorable. The man who worked there was so kind and very helpful, even pulling out books from the back I had asked about (I am a huge fan of cartoon books). The store features a nice selection of books from baby’s board books to older kid chapter books. There are a few vintage toys on the shelves that are for sale as well. I will absolutely return with my niece, a perfect stop when spending time with children.
I went to his shop today wanting a break from my baby boy. I was in a bad mood when I got there. Let me just say this guy is sure to get you smiling. He has a great conversations and stories to tell. Make sure you have some time to spare he is talkative and wonderful. Very nice guy and a great children's bookstore. So long as I live in the area this is where I will buy my son books from.
