Review from Kirk F.
A Catholic book/gift store.
A gay Buddhist.
Huh.
So, we are not exactly a match made in heaven (That's the only pun. I promise.) but I'm actually a big fan of this little store.
First off, let's talk about the "staff." It's actually run by volunteers. And you can tell - these aren't just people who are here to make a buck. They actually care about the store, the church and you! Always helpful and willing to spend time with you one-on-one but without being overbearing.
The content is ... well, it's a Catholic bookstore. So there are lots and lots of books. I actually bought two books here; 1) a guide to being a godparent, 2) a picture bible for my goddaughter. Beyond my limited interest, they have a huge selection of reading material, covering all aspects of Catholicism and putting it into every day practice.
Beyond the books though, they have vast array of paraphernalia - everything from jewelry to bumper stickers. If you're looking for a gift relating to a Catholic/Christian life event, this is the place to get it. Baptisms, communions, wedding days, etc are all covered in the gift selection here.
The space itself is fantastic. It's very relaxing and warm. Shelves and racks are placed with enough space between them that you won't feel claustrophobic or worried about banging into things.
All in all, this may not be the store for you, but it's great for what it is.Listed in: Reading is sexy
