I stumbled upon this little place last weekend. Seeing as how it's a retail establishment for used media, I am not going to judge the place based on the selection of material available. There was a reasonable amount of inventory for any given taste. Language Instruction books are my guilty pleasure and I was able to find some variety that I haven't seen an any bookstore before. \n\nI feel that The Last Word offers a nice bit of flavor to this already diverse area (\"chainy\" or not). The decor was simple, but fun and functional and the staff was friendly and totally down-to-earth. Also, it was great to see local artists get attention. \n\nAs I said to the lady who was ringing me up  \"it makes me hate living up here a little bit less\". I will be sure to stop by often to see what's new and catch some local talent in action.
