    The Published Page Bookshop, Cleburne
    Bruce K.

    Thank you, Jim, for the more than pleasant browsing experience and the fantastic conversation. This was an absolutely enjoyable shop and if I wasn't trying to be a bit more judicious in my book purchases (as I'm trying to reduce my current book load at home), I could easily have gone nuts. The Published Page is chock full of tens of thousands of books, most of them well arranged by category with romance novels and science fiction and non-fiction and cookbooks and biographies and way too many more to even try to keep listing them. And if you do want more, they also have movies and LPs and such. The shop isn't nearly big enough for all these books and yes, Jana N., it has that wonderful smell of a proper used book store! The shop is located in downtown Cleburne and is directly opposite the courthouse. There is street parking. And after you've bought your books, maybe walk next door to Mugs and drink a coffee while you get familiar with your new purchase. [Review 15957 overall - 174 in Texas - 1462 of 2021.]

    So excited to be spending time in the Published Page in historic downtown Cleburne. A real addition to this growing area.

    Brand new store in the sense that it's a new company in an old shop. The floors and shelves are…read morestill the old establishment, at least it looks like it. The I am impressed at the type of discounted product that is in there. It's not as deeply discounted as other dirty fire sale establishments, but it's still discounted. Staff was super friendly. We just came in to look and see what the new place looked like. About what we expected, and walked out without buying anything on this day, and one of the staff members joked around with us about that. It was a fun time. The line was super long at check out. It was quit busy. I'm certain my wife will return on a few occasions as she's a very frugal shopper and she loves a good deal.

    Store manager was very rude to the elderly man in front of me, so I told her she didn't have to…read moretalk to him that way and be rude to him. We had all been waiting almost 20 min in line with only one cashier working very hard to try to get everyone checked out. When the store manager approached the registers, she went to the register close to the wall, where as the cashier was on complete opposite end of her. Therefore, the man in front of my had to go backwards to her register. When he did, she said to him, "that's why we have a sign back here so that doesnt happen." She said it in such a rude way to him, so I let her know that she was rude and shouldn't treat customers that way. That the older man did not deserve that after waiting in line for 20 minutes while the store manager offered her employee no help whatsoever. Because of this she rudely told me to have a good day and pointed at the door. Long story short, she also charged at me and my daughter aggressively and almost caused us to have a physical altercation. She ended up calling the cops on me, and other customers told them I was right to take up for that man. Cops said I was in the right and I was free to go. The cops said i could still shop there, but will not be spending my hard earned money in that store.​

    It was my first time to enter this wonderful space devoted to the enjoyment of perusing and reading…read morebooks. In what I consider a very interesting addition, Paper Leaves also carries a variety of plants. Waxahachie is already well known for its over 200 historic structures in five historic districts. Paper Leaves lies on Water Street to the north of West End Historic District, the largest district with homes built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I love that Paper Leaves is SO Waxahachie in that respect! You step back in time here in high ceilinged book filled rooms with comfy, vintage and antique furniture, and just make yourself at home in such a special place. We entered from the back. The driveway and backyard look newly renovated and there are several parking spaces. The handicapped access to the business is in the rear and is smooth with a concrete ramp. The recent rain and wind has buffeted their lovely backyard, but there are two big areas for outdoor reading. They are shady with lots of chairs and look big enough for book clubs to meet. At the back, there is a small sunroom with lovely stained glass and three high tables and chairs set up for conversation or reading. The windows are enormous in this home with sun streaming in on velvet and brocade and velveteen sofas and chairs. Every room is a treat. A short stack of $1 Books and a (previous) dining room of used books were followed by what had been a parlor with a lovely fireplace and even more books. The foyer has the register and a very vertical staircase. The remaining downstairs room is an inspired Kids Books section with mysterious footprints on the floor and a bathroom! Paper Leaves has been altered to accommodate at least two (that I saw) spacious modern bathrooms with baby changing areas. The terrific front porch, the kind you always wanted, has a big ole swing and seating. There's used books and small exotic plants for sale out front. I saw a used copy of The Goldfinch for $7. The stairs are not steep. I mean, I'm 71 and had a hip replacement not all that long ago and I could make it up and down. Upstairs there's a very sunny reading room and all kinds of interesting paraphernalia on the floor and the walls of the landing. Then there's this astonishing windowed in sunroom. It's a lovely room with plants that have prices but no names. Just "Foliage." Yes, they can look them up. But, I knew a number of them anyway. Bonsai, many cacti and succulents, philodendron. Just gorgeous. All sizes. Hanging Baskets. Climbers. Teeny tiny little bitty plants in pots. Wonderful. I loved Paper Leaves. A very soothing, calming, good vibes place. But books and plants are my jam, so ... I can hardly wait to come back.

    I have been seeing a lot of my peeps on Instagram checking this place out and it looked like an…read moreamazing getaway spot. I had an hour to spare one afternoon so I stopped by and took a gander. Several different parking locations. My big country truck fit in the small parking lot behind Paperleaves. Upon walking towards the entrance you can't miss the most amazing front porch with a comfy porch swing with big comfy cushions and a couple couches and chairs. I got there just as they opened and was greeted upon entering. I checked out all three rooms of books, one of them children's books. There are several places to sit down and read throughout the house. Go support local and get lost in the beauty that is this place.
