Reviews
The selection is great for any book collector, but the owners seem to believe that it's okay to say, "I fu**ing hate kids," when two young teenagers walk in the door. Additionally, they hover over you when you're looking at books and are reluctant to help if you're looking for anything in particular. My husband and I declined to buy two rare editions after one of the owners was incredibly rude both to us and three other customers. We will not be returning. As avid book collectors, we were disappointed in the environment.
I apologize for creating a disappointing environment! We do our best to provide a pleasant experience for everyone who walks through our door and I think we usually do fairly well at that. However, due to the delicacy of our products we must insist on careful browsing (doubly so when customers are asking to handle our rarest books) and in doing so we sometimes upset folks. Anytime customers improperly handle our books we find it necessary to "hover" and lend a helping hand. We also generally avoid bringing out expensive books that browsers who have not demonstrated proper book handling skills request to view because these books damage easily and are only rare because of their condition in most cases. Perhaps I should have been more direct with you and your husband regarding my concerns but I find that having their book handling skills criqitued usually upsets folks. Regardless, I agree that you not returning would be in the best interests of all parties involved. Best regards, Brandon Rison
Nice place seems small but so much to look at. You can spend hours in there. Really cool organized coin collection. Thanks Brandon for the stamps and coins!
Really over priced items, I looked at some coins and found them to be over graded and over priced.
Mary, I just recently learned that you are actually Matthew Nichols, d.b.a. Jayhawk Collectables and Estate Services. Previously d.b.a. Cash 4 Gold and Silver. Shame on you for such childish behavior!
Fine little shop, beautifully organized. Wonderful new asset for the Topeka Metropolitan Area. Do stop by! .......coneflower5
