Good selection, used books and comics. I think the only bookstore of its kind in Durham. They buy academic/PhD works as well.

You are immediately hit with the smell of books when you walk in this store. They have a large selection of comics. Make sure you have time and patience to wonder to find treasures because there is so much to see. I didn’t find an romance if that is what you have in mind. Also is you are sensitive to dust you may want to wear a mask.

BOOKSTORES ARE INTEGRAL TO LOCAL CULTURE This place is fantastic! A great selection of collectable books, comic books, cd's and records. My favorite part is the comic book section, which has some amazing indie comics from the 90's (as well as current issues and more). In the summer the AC is not too great, so if you plan to browse for long, come in the morning or in the evening. I recommend this place to everyone I know.

I was referred by a friend in the early 90s to this Oasis. Life happened for several years but BDFAR remained my Family. So Many Treasures ... PRIMARILY the Staff. Books, Music, Comics, Cards, Novelties .... and True Magic in Real Time If you open yourself to Their Experience.

Quirky place. Minimal ambience but plenty of books. Great selection well organized. Reasonable prices.
