I was out going from store to store on this row with my father, and a colloquial term we have for an antique store like this one is a junk store because we like cool junk, not antiques. As we entered this store my father noticed the adjoining antique store, and announced "Hey, there's a junk store next door" to which I replied, "Next to the book store next door" and evidently the man working as cashier for the bookstore found our use of the word junk to be insulting, and I felt very attacked when he made this clear to me. He said that this was all antiques and not junk, and was not accepting my explanation that we use junk as a term for antiques we do not find appealing. He demanded an apology (mind you after my father and I had both apologized, I was more profuse because as I said before I felt very attacked and that I was the target) or that we leave and he does not want our business. I had a bit of an anxiety attack from this, it certainly made my afternoon much worse. I should add we didn't buy anything, much of the stuff was what I thought to be overpriced. I may go back, but be extra cautious in what I say to anyone. two stars because some of the antiques were very interesting, but I was too shaken up to examine anything closer.
The name itself means a lot, have been here by a friends request and I would thank her for introducing this place. Though this place looks bit squeezed, there is a lot in this store. You can find thousands of book collection of all genres. I would stop by more often until I find another interesting store.
Unique antiques and helpful staff. Definitely check them out when visiting Hampden
Unexpected finds. Fun to browse staff is friendly but not always super forthcoming.
