Not only do they have an incredible book selection, but there's also a cozy coffee + tea shop attached Huge shoutout to Luis (GM!) for helping me pick the perfect latte -- I went with the banana bread latte (on the menu until the end of the month, so don't miss it!) They truly prioritize community, host events, and create such a welcoming vibe. Definitely check out their website for upcoming happenings!

Finally had the chance to stop by Little House of Books today! What a fabulous little book shop!…read moreThe small town feel and cozy ambiance reminded me of Stars Hollow (Gilmore Girls fans, anyone?). The place is adorably decorated and has a nice size, curated book collection with something to offer for everyone. I was greeted by the owner who was so kind and also rang me up. My books were packaged so nicely with decorative tissue paper too! I found two books here that have been on my list to grab: Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid and Crying in H-Mart by Michelle Zauner (singer in the band Japanese Breakfast!). Both books are paperback which is my preference, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that Crying in H-Mart was 30% off! There is an area for kids, a cafe area serving coffee and drinks, and a nice outdoor patio area as well. This place has it all! If you're in the area, be sure to stop by and browse!

My daughter and I just love a good used book store. The first time we visited, they were just…read moreabout to close, but the owner, Chuck, invited us in anyway. We managed to get quite the haul in just a few minutes. We will definitely stop by the next time we are in Wheeling.

The space was bigger than I expected yet small enough to still feel quaint. The guy working seemed…read morenice enough but not overly friendly. They had a good amount of books but I was expecting a lower price for being used. They actually had the book I wanted for virtually the same price I could get anywhere else, as I'm writing this review I checked online and it's significantly cheaper now than it has been. I guess that's the price of supporting local business.

This place was such a joy to spend an afternoon in. For those who are very well read and those who…read morehaven't picked up a book in awhile, I can guarantee you'll find a title that catches your eye. This place has a very apparent and pointed purpose for existing. Not necessarily to convert everyone into being anarchists, but more so wanting to encourage free, critical thinking. It's certainly worth a visit and had so many intriguing books that brought me a lot of joy to browse through.

I love that they don't emphasize or even sell newly published, meaningless fluff fiction like all…read morethe other bookstores nowadays. I like the zines, and the 'name your price' rolling bookshelf of books outside, the unique genres, and the not being followed or made to surrender my bag at the counter, lol. The selection of *non*-antiestablishment books, however, is a bit scarce. I mean, even people who've already read all those need something new to read now and again. And I didn't realize or see they had coffee and tea - what? - where was that?.. Thank you for the visit to your lovely shop. Good luck in the new year.

The space is relatively small but has good inventory turnover. They are also able to order special books if you have something particular in mind. They have a good number of old and rare books and local goods like postcards and soaps. They have a number of events such as readings by local authors as well. The proprietress has always been very sweet and knowledgeable about both books and local history.

Even with the slight chatter in the background as I study is not a distraction in comparison to if I was in a different setting. The vibe is always unmatched here to me. I get a lot of work accomplished here. There's a wide variety of books and periodicals here as well for all readers (if we didn't know that already lol). I just love this place!!

I found an absolutely gorgeous set of His Dark Materials from 2008. Just stunning books. Great…read moreprice on them too. This place is really great if you're looking for "their type"...which seemed to be Christian definitely, nationalist maybe...so if you're into that you'll love it. There WERE sections for diverse topics-they were just either empty or nearly so. Maybe a bunch of witchy liberal first peoples recently came through and they haven't recovered? There were whole aisles devoted to Christian books. All in all, not diverse but they do have nice books if you are looking for what they carry.

Love that there is a hole-in-the-wall style book store in little ol' Wooster. It's just one of many…read moreshops that really "make" this little town. This shop has two floors packed to the brim with about any kind of book imaginable. An entire children's section, foreign language books, old collectors books, and more. If you wanted to put together a bookshelf full of classics that actually look like classics in worn, brown leather binding you could definitely get your start here. There is every section you expect from a book store. An extensive collection of fiction starting at the front of the store, with classics and nonfiction in the back and upstairs. The children's section is also upstairs. There are a few places where you can sit and read. This being a primarily used book store, you can sell and trade too. Highest dollar is given for nonfiction, with hardbacks being at the top of that list. You can sell your books outright with no obligation to use the money as credit only. However, like with most trade-in places, you will typically get more value if you apply it in credit than if you take it in cash. Absolutely worth a visit, even if you're just looking to browse the day away in town.
