Everyone here is so wonderful and kind and thanks to Rick and Rhi, I'm looking forward to hosting a book signing here in the Fall! Love this beautiful store in the neighborhood!

I love me an old bookstore-the smell of the old books, the creaky wood floors and the set of eyes…read morethat gaze at you when you walk in the front door. It's a whole vibe and one that you just can't get with a bookstore that primarily sells new books. There are some items here that are kept under glass, making me think that they might be rare or valuable. Just browsing the shelves provides endless amounts of curiosity-about the stories or information that these treasures hold. If you're looking for something specific, you might be able to ask the shop keeper for assistance, or just come and see what treasures find you. You're guaranteed to find something!

Excellent selection of hardback old vintage books in pretty good condition. Nice selection of…read morebargain clearance outside the store for $1-3 Overall vibe is quiet and musky smelling. Good lighting and organization. Though topics are dated. Not for romance fantasy or more contemporary fiction readers. Poor poetry and traveling section. Missing many categories... Summarized in two words: overpriced and outdated. I've found the same things online for 50-80% off compared to this store.

Absolutely obsessed with this bookstore café. It has everything I'm looking for in a study spot!…read moreThere's plenty of space to study both inside and outdoors on the patio, which makes it super easy to settle in for a productive session (or stay way longer than planned). The second you walk in, you're surrounded by a romance book-lover's dream. The ambiance feels like stepping into a cozy Hogwarts library. It's warm, magical, and the perfect place to get lost in a book. There is also a vintage-style Photo Booth that will print out two photo strips for $5! I also love the story behind this place starting online and growing into a physical bookstore that now carries such a fun variety of books, plus the cutest hip and trendy merch (hats, book pins, shirts, and more). The coffee is good, and their menu is surprisingly extensive. I ordered the cookie butter latte and was genuinely impressed by both the size and the taste. On top of all that, the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Whether you're looking to study, find community, or just yap with fellow book lovers, this is such a fun and inviting space!

I've been here a couple times but never got the drinks. I think the setting is amazing. So fun to…read morecome with friends or on your own and sit at the bar area or inside/outside. Lots of seating. I ordered a chai and they use a spiced mix. It's good not the normal Maya chai you see at most coffee shops. They also have energy drinks so I'd say this is a typical "quick" coffee shop style where you shouldn't expect in house flavors being made or anything and very sweet drinks (which I love). I got an almond croissant which was delicious. They get their pastries from the Gadsby Bakery I believe. They're so good. The service was so friendly and we got our drinks so quick!

I have met several of my favorite authors there: Michael Connelly, Robert Dugoni, C J Box, the late Thomas Perry, as well as a new author that I really like, Nick Petrie. Barbara, the owner, is the ultimate hostess and interviewer. She has nurtured so many authors as well as following their careers. Books are usually not priced, just sold for whatever is listed on the back jacket. However, they do have a couple of seasonal sales. I would totally recommend this bookstore to anyone visiting downtown Scottsdale!

It's because the two old guys that are some of the most wonderful fellas I've ever met. They know where everything is and what they do and don't have in stock. I spent 2 hours in this store, part of the time browsing books and the other time just chatting with the fellas. Now, the best part is I am a romance girly and they have $1.00 Romance books!!! I bought 17 books today. 15 were Romance! They have thousands of books and a sitting area ANNDDDDD 2 cute dogs that are in store that will ask for belly rubs. Whatttttt!?!?!? This was an amazing visit to the bookstore and they definitely found a forever customer in me because I will most certainly be back! Probably on a weekly basis.

Popped in today to buy some books as a bday treat to myself. You know a spot is gonna be great when…read moreyou are greeted by two dogs that smile at you. This spot truly is an indie bookstore, there is a little bit of nostalgia here and of course books. I love hole in the wall indie book stores. There aren't a lot of them out there so I get excited when I find one. I read a mix of genres. In the horror section I saw that they had a Dean Koontz special. I've always wanted to read his work and this felt like the perfect time to start. I bought my first Koontz books today because of this store. I will be back especially for the dogs and the great prices.

This was a nice visit…read more We came for an author book signing, we also left with his book and 5 other books. I liked the store, it was well organized and they were friendly. I liked that they had a section of books they let you look through before they shelved them. I'm going to enjoy reading this summer.

But do not, I repeat, DO NOT take books there to sell . . they will rip you off. . . I took 40 wonderfully conditioned topical books there and they offered me $6!! Bookmans is the same - they do not give a decent price. You are better to donate and get a tax donation than to sell to places like this. I wish I had read Rebecca S. review of April 19, 2026 & Lina L's review before I took my books - what a waste of time to even stop there unless you are shopping!!

I am usually not in this area a lot, but my daughter & I wanted to go check out this bookstore for…read moresome used books so we took the drive down. When we arrived, I realized I remembered this spot from when I was a kid, I just hadn't been back since I was younger. This spot is absolutely STUFFED with books, comic books, VHS tapes and more. You could spend quite a long time wandering around looking at all of the books they have to offer. It can be slightly overwhelming especially if you are looking for something specific as there wasn't really any clear guidance on where to find certain sections. We still had a lot of fun though wandering around and seeing what we could find. If you are looking for the prices, they are written in pencil on the inside of the books. You can find a mixture of mostly used books along with some new books. They have a cute shop cat that you can sometimes spot wandering around, or asleep at the front. The woman who was working the register the day we visited was friendly! They also had a cart out-front with a number of books that were free to grab. There is plenty of parking out-front.

Found this little gem in Phoenix last week when I was on the hunt for a used copy of Song of…read moreSolomon. I called and they said they have the 1984 edition for $6, which was a great price. Once I was got to the store, I had to explore. I think that if one were to regularly visit Books, he/she would find some rare editions and other gems. Also, they had what looked like reproductions of banned book announcements posted around the store: all were of classic novels that we can't imagine not having access to as students. (See photos: Charlotte's Web, Huck Finn, Fahrenheit 451...) They were quite entertaining, in a disturbing way. They had the effect of making me feel so grateful that past efforts of censorship in the US had failed. In 2024, this is still a real threat. Tiny stores like this one are real treasures. Let's keep them in business.
