There are 2 independent bookstores in Palm Beach, this is one of them and it is located on the…read moreNorth end of Palm Beach. I never knew this one existed and I'll tell you why... they don't allow pictures to be taken in here. So for reviewers such as myself who wish to show off their shelves of different authors or genres for other bibliophiles to see, that's not going to happen here. I was able to take a single photo of the book I purchased only. Obviously, I prefer the other bookstore because they made me feel more welcome. The customer service in this one was ok as well but let's face it, I am an African American Woman, and this IS Palm Beach so was I surprised that I was watched like a hawk? Nah. I will say this though... if you can't find whatever book you are looking for here try the Classic Bookshop located further down the way. Respectfully Reviewed.

I'm an avid reader and absolutely love bookstores. Unfortunately, I could not find anything to love…read moreabout this store because of the unfriendly attitude and treatment on my visit. Shoppers are discouraged from browsing and looking at the books (you can't judge a book by its cover after all). The shopkeeper is not only unwelcoming, she is rude and snobby. I took my business to the other bookstore on the island.

From the moment I walked in the store I said what a…read morebeautiful book store. The place was filled with beauty, gems ,fragrances and lots of history. I loved the ambience. I was happy to meet one of the owners that was there. His name was Connor. He was helpful and informative. I was happy to support a private business, and not a typical Corporation. In fact, this is not a typical book store. It's intriguing, enlightening and has depth. I highly recommend. A store with class in itself. A shout out to The Dancing Elephant. A must visit...a true Gem.

They ask questions they remember previous conversations I've had with them from months ago. They asked how my mom is doing and my mom has never been here. She remembered a previous reason I came in to buy a small stone for my mom when she was in the hospital for surgery on her leg/hip. -they are incredible here they make you feel so welcome and comfortable, like your family! They're so easy to talk to. -They have a really nice rewards program. You get $10 off every $100 you spend. -I come here specifically for their incense because you can't find better incense or smudge sticks anywhere. I highly recommend the native soul white sage and lavender is my favorite and likewise with the smudge sticks_ white sage/lavender (if they have them in stock which is rare) -I was referred here by a Boca beauty, Academy, instructor, Miss Celeste. She recommended this store to me and I gotta say now I'm hooked. I don't just live around the corner. It's a pretty far way away from me but the drive is always well worth it. I get what I need in larger quantities so that way I'm set for a couple months. -Thank you to the CG team! You guys are the best part of this store. All your hard work and interest in the clients does not go unnoticed.

This is a wonderful bookstore. It has an awesomely brilliant cross between nostalgia currently used…read moreitems so it fits your modern needs. The best part of all is that they take back college textbooks and you can purchase used college textbooks at a discount price. It's hard to find a place like this nowadays so for all of the students out there this is your spot! And for all of the quaint bookstore aficionados that can do without all of the flash of a giant corporate bookshop you'll love coming here. Can't wait to come back .

The place is quite big and the shelves are well stocked with old and new books at good prices. It may take a little bit to learn the genres and if you're looking for specific books, you may need to ask the staff for help. The staff here are nice and when I called to ask if they accepted donations, they politely said yes they will accept small amounts. I assume they may limit the amount they accept as there are many boxes of books there that are not even opened or on the shelves yet so they may be back logged. Used bookstores are a rare find and I think it's so awesome to have a place like Bookwise in the local community!

This was such an unusual and oh so interesting store. And based on its name, I was expecting a…read morebookstore. Instead, this was like one of those intriguing and quaint museum shops with an eclectic mix of fascinating items. The store itself is off the beaten track -- literally -- as it is in a warehouse building across from the actual railroad tracks and north of 10th Avenue North. The location alone had us question if we were in the right place. They are only open on Saturdays plus during a few special events. And on Saturdays, it's only open from 11 am to 4 pm. You'll see a black and white sign out front (it says, "open today") indicating if they're open or not. If you like different things, specialty foods, and artisan goods, then this place is for you. As it was the beginning of January when we stopped by, they still had a bunch of their Christmas items --ornaments and gifts, nutcrackers, creches, etc. on display. We loved browsing through everything. And John and Seth, the owners, were more than happy to answer any questions. We were told that each item has its own story, if we were interested. There was a lot to look at and admire. Here are some of the things we saw -- and please note that the "stock" changes -- vintage cards, European foods and candies, jewelry, spices, ornaments, gifts, hand embroidered linens, chocolates, figurines, scented soaps, candles, toys, herbs, teas, potpourri, and even a few books. I'm sure I've missed some of the items. You could spend a lot of time just looking at everything. And it's all in two rooms. I'm so glad we stopped by. We got to taste some chocolate. We bought some lavender candies, and I got a lovely moon broach pin that I just adore. If you have time some Saturday, do stop by. They have some great gift items for that special someone or just to treat yourself, as I did.
