There's the Bookworm, near the corner of Main and Sackley, for used and new books

If you're thirsty, there's the Perk-and-Perch, "the happenin' coffee shop in Tabor Heights," or Stay-a-While, for gourmet coffee, bakery and sandwiches. Max Randolph likes to stop there for refreshments for theater committee meetings.

If you need a quick beauty treatment, try Finesse.

Or check out the Penny Pincher for gently used clothes. The students at Butler-Williams University like to shop there.
