The books were in great shape and cheaper than other used bookstores I'd visited recently. It's like buying brand new books, but for literally half the price. I'm more than happy to give my money to this store rather than Amazon.

The store had a lot going on as far as the sale section and just merchandise everywhere as it's holiday season. I generally like browsing around just because. Store was pretty organized. We were approached by customers looking for staff assistance but seemed like they were a bit short staffed as we didn't see any besides at the checkout despite the store being somewhat busy.

Free WiFi! Better than the mall's!…read more A great place to get coffee and a snack while waiting for your family or friends that are shopping. You can enjoy a book (or manga) while waiting or just savor the delicious treats they have at their cafe! I'm not a shopper so whenever I'm at the MOA accompanying friends or family, this is my go-to place to get out of the hustle and bustle of the mall. Friendly and fast service. Clean and a great deal for some peace and quiet! Many books and toys on sale!

When they call a bookstore "Simply Books" they really mean it in this airport shop…read more There are real, honest, hold-them-in-your-hand and physically turn-a-page books. There is no music, no audio books, no magazines, no cords, accessories, or earphones (those are in the shop next door), but they do have reading glasses and a few small stuffed animal toys for the kids. What you will find are hardcover and paperbacks in many genres in current or recent titles and a section of classics. It's not a big store, but doesn't need to be when you aren't selling trinkets. The children's and YA sections are well-stocked so good for them for promoting reading for all ages. If you either finished or forgot your book and have a long enough layover to get to the F terminal, this should be a stop. As much as I like the B&Ns of this world, I really appreciate a bookstore that doesn't need all the marketing extras. Simply Books is simply a bookstore. Good for them.

Now, because it's not NYC, you can't get a decent bottle of seltzer anywhere outside of the tri-state region so I had to settle for a lame ass and very non-fizzy Perrier. But , I'm a pioneer so I forged ahead with the Perrier. When the cashier went to ring it up, he knocked it off the counter. Anticipating that it would be shaken and explosive, he went to the case and got me another one! How's that for service!? I thought that was exceptional. If and when I choose to learn to read and if I'm ever flying anywhere via MSP, I vow to come back here and pay homage to the exceptional cashier at Author's Bookstore.

They're connected by the registers and a small drink and snack area. I bumped it down a star since it's a franchise of HMS Host but their association with a local children's book store bumped it back up to four stars. The staff was friendly and engaging.

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.

That made me laugh. Even for a small bookstore, it does have a wide selection of genres to choose from. They also sell coloring/art supplies as well as gifts like knick knacks and magnets. I got a magnet saying I love banned books, which I do. Great little place, and an excellent store if you need a book and are stuck in MSP airport.

I appreciated the variety and decor. I did try to strike up a conversation with the store employee twice, but it was a somewhat unfriendly encounter. A little bummed because I was seeking a book recommendation. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the bookstore was also subject to the hospitality charge so my book ended up being more expensive than anticipated and that I could find elsewhere. I might choose to purchase a book on-the-way to the airport next time instead of my usual in-the-airport tradition. I'm assuming this isn't the store's fault directly, but did impact my experience. {32}
