I wish I could write an article about how other bookstores should follow in the silver unicorns book steps. My son loves coming here as it is inclusive and their bathroom is gender neutral, which makes my heart sing! The staff here are also so friendly, kind and inclusive. Don't change your message to the community! Also, for soap and Knick knacks lovers- they have the best handmade soap and toys in here as well. I highly recommend!

She was very very knowledgable and navigated the store like a champ. The amount of rare and antique books is really fun to look through! My husband bought a few rare copies of Steven King's IT and The Stand. They also buy back books - but you have to make an appointment on Thursdays. I can't wait to go back.

I've been going here since they first opened, and my son has graduated from playing with the toys in the fully stocked and very convenient "kids area", to looking at chapter books while I browse the rare and obscure selections from social sciences, geography, history, you name it. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the amazing artwork and cool gifts and games for sale as well. A lot of the art is locally made. It's a funky store, and absolute opposite of Amazon. Go here.

This trip was for a children's book, ended up with a bath book that they had a few options. They were doing an event with a local brewery in Melrose which I thought was a cool collab.

You could spend a good chunk of time browsing through the bins and shelves. It is great that they have a train table in the kids area so they kids can play while you browse the books. I was searching for Lunar New Year books, but couldn't find any. They had a bin for the big holidays like Christmas, Halloween, Easter and a general holiday bin for smaller holidays. The employees were nice and can system search by author/title, but they couldn't do a search by general topic/genre.

I said it was a hard book to find. She said it's popular and everyone loves it. Be sure to come back and tell us what you thought of it. When I brought up a historical fiction book I had just finished, related to current times, her attitude totally changed and a condescending disapproval shown through clearly. I don't go to book stores for that and I will not go back.

For such a gorgeous bookstore, the service was diabolical.

It costs nothing to be kind. If you are reading this now, maybe read one of the self help books on your displays, and take a cold shower.
