A real gem worth exploring in downtown Florence! Everyone working there is great and open to locate something specific or help you find your new favorite. Do not be afraid to pop in and leave with nothing, they will be just as happy to see you. I will not be ordering any more books online as long as I have Jack's Books to look forward to.
