They always have current popular reads and they also have books that I have never heard of from smaller authors. If for some reason they don't have what you are looking for, they are happy to help you find it and order it for you to the store! My absolute favorite part of this book store is the clearance wall. As a book fanatic who LOVES buying book trophies and new reads (I also write reviews on goodreads and make video reviews on tiktok and booktok @pagingdr.z ; https://www.tiktok.com/@pagingdr.z) I usually tell myself I can only buy books from the clearance wall or clearance carts outside the store. There are so many awesome books there in all genres and for all ages which I enjoy and they are so reasonably priced despite prices going up recently. Books are typically around $2-5 which is an awesome deal! In addition to have awesome selections and staff, they also buy back books and have many book events!

This was my 8th stop on the Indie Bookstore Passport tour, and it is close to Macalester. I was…read moreimpressed with the book selection; they seemed to have a little bit of all genres. There was an abundance of local authors featured throughout the store. I liked the bookish events offered, including silent reading club. The staff were warm and welcoming, and they checked in as I was browsing, asking if I needed help. There is street parking, and a public parking lot around the corner from the store.

Also nice we were able to use a Barnes and noble gift card in the coffee shop. As for the book store it was a pretty standard store but was clean and well maintained.

I am very happy this Linden Hills store has been handed down to the next generation. Very few book stores have the intimacy and charm of Wild Rumpus. Have a young child or relatives? Check this place out! Make sure to say hi to the book store animals! Pros: - Neighborhood feel - Animals - Wide selection of kid books

One of my favorite spots!! I love taking anyone who is visiting here, especially kiddos. This…read morebookstore is pure magic, for kids - and adults too. Most known for their animals in-store, this is a visit to a bookstore that includes meeting the cat, birds, chinchillas, and other animals that call Wild Rumpus home. It's so much fun to see and read about them. There's even fish in the mirror of the bathroom! If that didn't sell you, the ambiance beyond animals here is amazing. There's murals all over - including on the ceiling. There's a house-type structure in the back. There's chairs to cozy up and read in. It's like walking into a children's book. And what about the books?! So many books! Mostly children and YA books, but they have a substantial wall section for adults too. Everything from manga to local authors here. Prices are reasonable and service is always so welcoming and friendly. Can't recommend this place enough - whether you're shopping for a kid, bringing one along, or want to feel like a kid again yourself.

Get ready for used books at Paperback Exchange!…read more When you first walk in, the piles of used books are a tad overwhelming, but it also lets you know where to spend a few hours book-hunting. The small space is filled to the brim with books of all varieties and all conditions! The girl working the counter was friendly and helpful. She also let us know about the discount/credit customers receive when they sell books to the store. When looking for cheap used books or trying to get rid of books you no longer need, Paperback Exchange is a great place to try!

This place has no books whatsoever. Just kidding! You walk in and there's a "Woah!" moment because…read morethere are so many books vying for your attention. The selection is a little heavy on the romance, but my mom took plenty of those off their hands. Don't worry though, there is plenty more to search through and it's very well organized. Organization is key with these kind of stores or it's just too overwhelming. Helpful staff, street parking, great selection. The pricing is a little confusing on trade-in stuff, and the prices in general are a little high for used books, but that won't stop me from coming back. It's in a great neighborhood with a coffee shop right next door. Grab a book and then go grab some coffee. Perfect.

Any new book that I hear about and want to buy, they invariably have in stock, alongside a wonderful selection of titles I may not have realized existed. They're the kind of place that gets me excited about the world, even if they also remind me there will never be enough time to read everything I want to. I've been to a ton of independent bookstores in the Twin Cities, and Moon Palace is the best. Heck, I've been to a ton of bookstores in a lot of cities, and if Moon Palace isn't the best anywhere, I can't think of one better right now.

There are also games and beautifully designed cards. I love how they are incorporating the community by hosting work from local artists and offering their space for group gatherings. I love my eReader but there is such beauty in books that just doesn't translate to digital. Definitely worth checking out. Prices are reasonable and staff was super helpful. They helped me find the perfect book on pi!
