The independent Symposium Books offers new, used, rare, and bargain remainder books. Plus, the shop carries new record albums and vintage vinyl. They're willing to buy books and records, too.

The atmosphere is really comfortable and inviting with a decent variety of subjects and titles. Patrons are invited to sit among several individual chairs scattered throughout the store.

In the warmer seasons, there are often a couple of tables covered in books set out on the sidewalk to either side of the doorway.
