With skyrocketing rent prices and the advent of the superstore, those days are long gone. Luckily, a handful of shops remain. For over 20 years, Academy has dealt in second hand books. It is the perfect place to find great bargains and browse for unsuspected surprises. Though relatively small in size, oddly, they always seem to have what you are looking for. Rare signed editions and coffee table books are available. The staff is very well read, and lacking a computer system, they still know every title in stock.
