Die-hard sci-fi and fantasy fans will find kindred souls here, and perhaps the next big thing: writers Robert J. Sawyer and Tanya Huff, among others, are former employees. You won't find all the associated goods often stocked at similar shops, however there are no toys, no action figures, no games, no collectibles, and no comics.
