Owner was incredibly rude - yelled at me for absolutely no reason (I didn't touch a single thing in the store nor would I want to) and called other customers simple-minded. Would not recommend.

There are two Peace of the Past locations here in Galena. While the shops are both fun to look around in I can sum up my visit in one word... Overpriced! Lots of books... I'm more of a hard...

Great selection and well organized used books at terrific prices. Will come back. My husband bought 5 books here and a book at their north location on Galena!

Walked in and heard the man behind the counter badly talking of other customers walking around to customers up at the counter. Calling them ignorant, etc. Made us very uncomfortable so we left....
