With my teen planning on becoming an astrophysicist, I wanted to look at books about space. Really look at them. Not take a gamble and buy from Amazon. The women who helped me knew so much about that section. She offered many helpful ideas. Did I spend a bit more than I would have on Amazon or B&N down the street? Perhaps. But I wouldn't have gotten that kind of help at B&N or any help at all had I purchased online. They had a great selection for an independent bookstore. Definitely a great place for some Christmas shopping

Usually my go to is the clearance section and this is around various parts of the store. So you won't find just one section of clearance or bargain books, look around. I did appreciate the coffee shop (Starbucks) that is located on the side of the store (inside) and loved the fact that I was able to read a book just purchased at the coffee shop and didn't have to worry about being pushed out. With a gift card of $50, I was able to get 7 books on clearance and books that normally would of cost.m over $100. Now that's a deal if you ask me. Books that I wanted and books that I definitely needed! Of course not everyone will like the quiet in the bookstore (kind of reminds me of a library) and this I do like. It's also a good thing that the employees are friendly and knowledgable. Not like at other bookstores, employees seem to not want to help in my experience. But here it's not a problem and I am pleased with my selections.

I also think it has pretty good value. They don't overprice books but it's pretty comparable to bookstores near by. For all I have said this bookstore sounds great but I think they have a big problem. Selection. I mean it's ok but I buy Y/A books and they do not have much. It seems as if they just bought the books that were on clearance because tons of the books just aren't interesting. I'm not very sure what to rate this because this is a close gap between a 3 and a 4. It's just good but not great.

From a buyers perspective great experience. It is half off the listing price. Some things will be…read moregreat deals and others won't be. It's best to Google the book and see if it is selling for half price everywhere already. However, there are a lot of books that aren't normally half off so this is a great deal! A lot of the books looked brand new. I've been trying to build my child's book collection in an affordable way and this will help! From a selling perspective, know they are going to be selling them half off the listing price and they have tons of overhead costs. So I'm not surprised to hear people don't get much. I would look at it as you are helping others get a fair price for books and a good business keep employees when a lot of book stores struggle to make it.

My friend and I rode our bikes about 10 miles and spent roughly 2 hours getting to the store…read morebecause we wanted to sell some books we no longer needed. We brought in 13 books and were hoping to get a little cash for drinks and snacks after the ride. When we arrived, we were told that because we were under 18, we could not sell the books. I understand that businesses have policies regarding minors, but what disappointed me was how the situation was handled. We tried to ask if an adult could assist us with the transaction, but we were repeatedly told no without much explanation or effort to help us understand our options. What frustrated me most was leaving empty-handed after making such a long trip. Even if the policy couldn't be changed, a little more patience, empathy, or guidance would have gone a long way. The experience felt dismissive and left a bad impression. I respect that stores have rules, but customer service matters too.

It's a cute bookstore. It's very clean, and really quite spacious. But I confess, I was pretty…read moresurprised by the dearth of books! I guess that's where the "and more" part comes in (and does a lot of heavy lifting). Of the books on display, they had only a single copy (at least out on the floor). And the books were displayed face out, which makes sense when you're trying to catch the attention of young children many of whom can't read, but then when only half of your shelves hold books it's fairly sparse. They also had some stuff from some local purveyors and gifts and stuff. I got some bath stuff to try with my little one to shake up bath time a bit. They have some stuffed animals and stuff. They have some benches and pillows, spaces for kids to hang out and play; one was a wardrobe that was really nicely arranged as a reading nook which my kiddo really enjoyed. (I wish I had the vision to see something like a wardrobe and find that if I take the doors off and anchor it to a wall, it could be a fun place to cuddle up!) Something that's really cool is that they have a fishtank with a couple of axolotls, which my babe was astonished by. The bookstore seems to have a cool thing where you can arrange to have your kid feed them. Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of our visit here was the reason we came. I saw on Instagram that they were having train day, mentioning train books and crafts. My daughter loves trains, so we headed down. I think there were three train books on display. And the "craft" was some half-sheets of paper, crayons, and sheets of stickers that had trains on them. There was another family that had come in at the same time as us and I couldn't help but wonder if they were as let down as I was. I'd been really looking forward to visiting this bookstore--I wanted to about a year ago but hadn't been able to get here. I don't know that I'd come back even if I was nearby, because there are so few books that I don't know I'd want to just stop in to take a look since I'm not sure we'd find anything. Depending upon what's happening I'm not sure what parking is like; there's a good deal of parking down the block near the train station, but otherwise limited street parking.
