It was my first time in the bookstore today and I absolutely love it and am so glad I stopped in - you should too! Ray was so kind and I found a great selection of books I usually can’t find anywhere else in GREAT condition for GREAT prices! Will definitely be back again!

Ray was super sweet to my boyfriend and I. My boyfriend was actually searching for ww2 pictures that his grandfather could have possibly took in the war, he gave us tips on how to possibly find them! Made both of our nights. He also told me about a series (I bought the first book of it) and gave me some details on the authors, it was super sweet and interesting :)

This is my favorite store in East Lansing. the vibes are immaculate and the selection is wonderful. 3 levels of every genre, and plenty of rare and uncommon books! Highly recommend!!!!

The owner is so helpful and has many stories about the books in this collection. I found one of my all time favorite books on spirituality here. Great selection. Could not recommend more

Over the moon about this place. Found my dream book here today, and I wish I had had time to check out the top floor. 🥲 The service I received from the employee there today was wonderful. Extremely friendly, and patient with me lol. You WILL find something you want buy here. Great pulp selection, vintage magazines, old cookbooks, craft, art books, technical books, birding, etc. Decent organization, some subjects needs a little digging as things seem to get misplaced by other customers. You end up discovering more books that way though. They even have unsorted banker boxes of books on the floor, also worth looking through!! Unfortunately the only drawback is that they are not wheelchair handicap accessible. They have three floors and are *cramped* with books. I imagine that the employees there will help you for something specific, but it just doesn’t make for good browsing. They also seem to have a sister store, called the Archives?
