I am happy that I finally got to go to a used book store here in Vegas…read more I was looking for a copy of When the Wind Blows by James Patterson. I received a message back immediately and they saved a copy for me. I came and explored. They have tarot cards, stickers, and lots of interesting books to choose from. I think that the price of the books are reasonable. I would love to return and see if they have copies of books from other authors that I enjoy.

Las Vegas used to be a haven for book & used book lovers, but the market has changed, and now all bookstores struggle. I understand and sympathize with that.

A bookstore and coffee shop store all together! Yes we have one of these, even here in Vegas. Nestled in the middle of nowhere downtown is yes a bookstore. A coffee shop with a huge selection of books. It reminds me of wandering through a Powells bookstore in Portland. We came to see this vision and were just blown away. The writers block was encouraging and inspiring. The employees here emphasized kindness and compassion. The store design is truly magical. It's something that needs to be shared and appreciated. Come and join the conversation. Have the best of days ahead with your projects completed with the best of intentions and surroundings. Now welcome to the writers block and all the fun that awaits you.

The feel of a used book ! Is there anything better?…read more This book store is a rare example of love! They offer a wide variety of used books mixed in with other newer titles. It's highly organized! What a wonderful place. Are you looking for a quiet place to just read? Let the distractions of the world just melt away and loose focus in your own thoughts. Reading builds confidence in speaking to others. Reading helps you understand your inner voice and communicate with others. Knowing is power . Come and join the small team that still read. For that which what you're looking they might have that title. Or ask and maybe they can find and seek your needs . The staff are really nice and helpful. They let you browse and just have fun with books. If you find something that you enjoy take it home. The value for used books is really generous. Thank you for preserving books and giving the public a place to come, bricks and mortar store. The in person book buying experience is always great. Until next time .

They texted that they cancelled b/c the driver couldn't find the location. No call, no text from the driver. I gave very clear instructions as to how to find my apartment as well as the gate code. The food delivery people never have an issue finding my place, and I literally copied the same instructions I give them. So...that just tells me no one came out or ever was going to. I now have two very heavy boxes of 90 books sitting at the base of my stairs. Terrible service. Would not recommend. I was just trying to donate to a better cause than Goodwill, but I guess that was a bad idea. Horribly run. You can't even speak to a person. You just have to leave voicemails. Don't waste your time. **Update: As you can see from his response to this Yelp review, the owner does not take responsibility for the poor customer service. My account is not a fraud & I am still actively reviewing other businesses. My books were all in pristine condition and all pretty new (see pictures). Mostly hard cover new-releases, best sellers. They were not water-logged or insect infested. How does he know the condition of my books if no one ever showed up to get them? Here's a hint...Do what you say you're going to do. Keep your appointments. Don't slander people who are trying to donate almost $2,000 worth of books to your organization. It's not a good look. Tom, clearly you have a lot of time on your hands if you keep posting responses to my Yelp review. Maybe if you put more time into your business, it would run smoother. The point is, I had an appointment at 11:00 am. The books were at the base of my staircase as I mentioned in my reservation. They were still there at 1:30 pm, so I called and I received a text that the driver was on his way. That is 2 1/2 hours later. I opened my door again at 5:30 pm and looked down my stairs, the boxes were still there. The address I provided is my correct address. I even included my building number, unit number and the gate code. There is a map by the gate to direct your driver to the building number I provided. If every single Uber Eats driver, Amazon driver, Door Dash driver, Fed Ex driver, UPS driver can figure it out, surely your driver can too. And if not, why no call or text? I would be happy to provide additional directions, if the driver was having trouble. A no-show is poor business. A no-show with no notification is even worse. If you couldn't make it, a simple call or text would have been fine and I would not have been upset. Inconvenienced yes, but not upset. The fact that I had to initiate not one but two calls SIX AND A HALF HOURS after my scheduled appointment coupled with the audacity that you have to lie and slander me is why you have this one-star review. Do better.

Their prices are thrift store prices probably cheaper than Savers or Goodwill, plus they were giving a small discount for new customers that day. If you're in Vegas area and I want to scavenger hunt for some unique items I highly recommend coming to YSL. Also, the staff is very friendly and informative, and that just makes this place even more awesome! Thanks YSL for providing me with some cool thrift finds.
