We are on our third generation Uncle Hugo customers, since the olden days when it was back on Franklin Avenue. Love it!! I'm sorry some of these reviewers think the staff is rude: they really aren't, only reserved. If you ask them a question they are super knowledgeable and helpful... all three of our family's generations of customers are introverts, it never occurred to me to expect effusiveness from the folks there. My all-time favorite place to shop.
This place is what your heart imagines bookstores should be. The shelves are a maze and crammed with books, with more books piled on the floor (in organized stacks that are labeled by author). I've gone here with a friend multiple times, and every time we lose each other while we wander and have to call the other's name until we come back together. If you like science fiction or fantasy, then Uncle Hugo's is heaven.
Tell me no, not interested. 40¢??? Easy there money bags!
You have never seen soo many books. This store is actually two stores in one. Uncle Hugos which has a wide variety of sci fi as well as other fiction and Uncle Edgars which is exclusively mystery books. You may be greeted by the sweetest dog. Family owned and run, this store has been here for decades.
The only reason I give it 2 stars is because theres a lot of books with a great atmosphere. Otherwise it would be one star. Rudest most unsocial people Ive ever met.
I brought in 4 books, and he offered me 40¢ in store credit, or 20¢ cash. Just because they are stuck in 1930 doesnt mean the rest of us are.
I could go in and tell the clerk what kind of books I like and he would tell me about books I might like and I could buy them used or sometimes new. I would read them and bring them back. Sell them back and buy more. I loved this because I did not have to worry about due dates or a cluttered house and I liked every book I read.
