It's a great store and a great service to the southeast side of Iowa City.
Very negative vibes here for me. Did not see the clerk at first with all the clutter, boxes and out of place items, said Hi, how are ya and got a very discerning, stern look. Wandered around a bit and picked up a few books and almost sent a whole shelf to the floor as they are not neatly stacked, nor could I find any price. I was going to ask and saw the man standing up watching every thing I did with a painful grimace on his face. I felt uncomfortable and left. Maybe I should return and check out the occult section - probably some good finds.
One does not expect to find a used bookstore inside a mall (though malls would be greatly improved by them), much less a really excellent used bookstore--but that's just what you'll find when you wander into Defunct Books at the end of the Sycamore Mall. There's an excellent selection of both ordinary used books and collectibles--you'll find both current bestsellers and signed first editions of collectible books across a wide variety of genres. My favorite part is the extensive poetry section, where I was pleased to find a Denis Johnson book I've always wanted to own.
Great little store with a helpful staff. I went for a simple poetry book and ended up with the poetry book, a companion book and a wonderful F.L.W. architectural book. This little gm is inside a nondescript mall which is anchored by a Von Mauer. The prices are much better than big stores. Couldn't recommend enough.
