Best part? The pricing: 1/3 of the original suggested retail price. I got out after I had collected $50 worth of stuff, knowing it wouldn't do any good to stay! :-) I'll be back.

There were lots of street parking nearby if you couldn't find a spot right in front of the store. The store has a modest selection in my opinion but enough across different genres that you can probably find something. You know how some used bookstores carry books from the 1900s that makes it pretty hard to find more recent ideas. This place carries pretty recent publications (like within the past 20 years). Pricing was fair (2/3 off retail) given the nice conditions of the books. The cashier was a pleasant lady who was nice and friendly (without being overbearing).

Booked isn't the smallest bookshop I've been in, but their use of the space made it seem like one of the smallest. It's actually a pretty spacious shop but there aren't that many bookshelves and tables, so their selection is smaller than a shop of its size could be. I didn't find anything I couldn't leave without, but still, a charming little bookstore if you're in the area and are looking for something to read!

You will find their selection is updated frequently, the store is well kept and there's friendly staff to help you anytime. The store hours are convenient so you can go during lunch hours or after work. Even when you walk into the store your spirits are lifted because of the music and friendliness of the staff. There is a wide selection of Dayspring and Hallmark cards for all occasions. As well as communion cups, supplies for church, sunday school materials, t-shirts galore, plenty of writing and reading material, home decor, beautiful totes bags, encouraging fridge magnets, music, and gospel tracts to help share the good news and so so much more. Theres a small reading book for kids which is beautiful so you have time to browse and the kids are occupied! If you feel there is something you need and can't find, the staff is ready to help. I will be a frequent customer here for all my personal, gift, and Sunday school needs!

This place deserves no stars at all what so ever. I don't know how she can stay in business still,…read moreespecially when she is unprofessional as a store owner and even as a mother of two boys! First of all if your a mother, there are ways to talk to a child. Especially if it's a customers child. Not weather your child is sleeping or not. DON'T hush another child. What you could of said was... my child is sleeping, could you not make to much noise please. But yet your a mother of two kids and you still don't know how to talk to kids. How would we have known that your child was sleeping. A lot of the times, customers don't know if a child or baby is sleeping. So don't hush someone else's child especially the ones that you didn't bring into this world. Secondly, you have a very bad potty mouth!!! How dare you call a customer a b*tch in front of 4 kids and a baby! Like really?! We all have a mouth and speak. But your a mom of two and you curse in front of them like that to customers?! How wonderful your kids will grow up to be and to treat others with no RESPECT at all. That is such a shame. This owner is nothing but a shame to business owners and also to other moms out there. You need help. A lot of help and fast! Definitely won't be back or recommend this nasty place to anyone ever!

This shop is like a futuristic comic shop. I can see how it would be more inclusive and welcoming. Super selection of board games I've never seen and a lot of POP figures. Lots of fantastic books. Those probably filled the shelves more than comics. Good selection of trades. A few I'd never seen before but also I never know what I'm looking for. For someone like me I'd still need to supplement for everything I like. Back issues are non existent here. Possibly helps to keep it smelling nice! Nothing is on sale or "cheap" because the place is brand new. I don't think that's a deterrent though. You just need to set expectations for what you are going in their for. If you're looking for an 80's black and white turtles issue then go to Ontario. If you're looking for a brand new trade that has all those issues from that run in one place than go here. I don't have kids but I think this would be a great spot for parents to take their kids to find young adult fiction. Owner was there and they were so nice and offered to order anything I wanted! I apologized because I never know what I want!

They normally have fashionable clothes and shoes for women. Also, you will find nice travel bags. You can certainly find unique items for gifts. The fitting rooms are spacious and usually in good condition. The bargains are also pretty good. Sometimes they seem to have periods were they aren't as stocked or filled with merchandise. Not sure why that is. The purses/handbags selection is hit or miss when it comes to style, price, and quality. However, I have seen some great brands. I also really like that this store's closing hour is later around 10:30ish! Overall, glad it's a neighborhood store!
