This seems like a reasonable used vinyl store. I was with some friends while visiting Ann Arbor and…read moreafter a nearby lunch, one in our party wanted to find a specific singer's album that would include some of his hit songs. The singer died in 1964, so these seem to be rare albums to get as he was not a big name. He looked through some stacks and the rest of us looked also. I ran into several albums I used to have, but had moved on from them, when our turntable broke in the early 90s when CDs became the standard. We never bothered to replace the turntable. Now most of what I play is through digital sources, not in my house. The store was clean and well organized and the pricing variable. It was busy with staff available. But none of us found what our friend was looking for, so we then moved on to other options. I did look online later and found a source available by internet purchase but at a price I do not think our friend would pay. I think he will find it difficult to make this random purchase in person.

We recently stopped in while we were on a date since we love gaming and for a small shop in Ann Arbor, the selection was phenomenal. We were impressed and found a lot of games that we were interested in. Unfortunately, when you have little kids the gaming time can be a few and far in between especially when other adult adults are also busy. I'm so glad that we have this local gem so that when we are in a less busy season we can invest in some really fun stuff. They have lots of DND material. My kids really like the game Everdell and there were lots of expansions and supportive materials for the game. As you can expect, it's pretty pricey. I'm surprised there are still able to keep their doors open with places like Amazon. If you're looking for any kind of game or suggestion, I would suggest stopping in because everyone seems very knowledgeable. They have lots of comic books and trading card type games, party games, stuffed animals, and pretty much every kind of niche item a gamer could want. Even if you weren't a gamer, it's worth a trip downtown to check everything out. We will definitely be back.

Special mention to the One Piece and Hollow Knights shirts.

And a MAME cabinet. If you grew up on all that like I did, JUST GO. So much culture packed into one little room. I literally only had 15 minutes to run in and out on Record Store Day (and pick up two more records), but will definitely be back. Across the street from Cultivate Coffee & Taphouse, and next to the Ypsi food co-op in Depot Town. Park in the lot next to the building or on the street. Hit up the DIY skatepark at Prospect Park down the street. Weekend afternoon/evening hours, likely because this is somebody's beautiful side hustle / labor of love. Whoever that may be, I salute you!

Used bookstores on the other hand, were where you'd go digging for treasure among aged tomes and other peoples' cast offs. Perhaps that's what's keeping West Side Book Shop around. When the instant gratification of new novelty is clicks away at your fingertips, the promise of unpredictability, mystique and snippets of nostalgia draws customers to enter its doors. The space isn't large, really more of a living room transformed by wall to wall shelves and mini mountains on the central surfaces and displays. Here you too can own a piece of history or simply extend the life of a book or periodical. Sometimes you can find a rare edition or obscure title. Past times I've been there I haven't had much interaction with the staff though they were pleasant when checking out. The shop is located in downtown Ann Arbor so parking can be a pain, though if you're not too picky and prefer not to pay, you can always park a little further in the more residential areas and walk over. There are plenty of structures and lots too. They'll be celebrating 50 years in 2025. Hope they continue to be celebrated in Ann Arbor for years to come!
