This is a huge bookstore, with front side of it mainly has gift items and accessories. Middle and back side of the store have all kinds of books, including children’s books, greeting cards, toys and board games. Each book section was clearly marked with its category. The store is very clean and tidy. There were plenty of staff in the store keeping things in place, helping customers with questions and also do the checkouts. We bought some greeting cards, stickers and a kid’s story book from the store. Prices were decent for all the items. The checkout process was quick and easy.

Tad biased as I will always stop at an independent bookstore but this one did not disappoint. Variety of books and gifts - I purchased one cozy mystery and one fiction book. My only minor issue was the staff in the back of the store last Friday did not respond when I asked where the mystery section was. I did eventually find it but felt they could have at least pointed me in the right direction. The gentleman who rang up my purchase was friendly and engaging though.

A wonderful indie bookstore (aren’t they all though?!) but I especially love that they make their values known and support community efforts that take care of people. I love supporting business that stand up to fascism and help educate our community.

Cute local bookstore in Burlington downtown. In the front is regular book sections. Mid and back sections are mostly kids, stationary, toys and cards. The staff were very friendly. I asked some questions regarding a certain merchandise but they didn’t have. Readable pricing at the area. They do have state tax and city tax. I got a fun birthday card from the store. Great design!

This bookstore is insane. I used to visit the old location, but this location is more stimulating for a shopper's mind. There is so much to do. I genuinely probably spent over an hour in the store looking through all the items. All the items are intriguing and unique, not even including the books. Of course the book selection is nice as well. Highly recommend. Both book stores on Church St are good but this one is better for new books (at a better price). Both are good just for different things
Independent bookshops are the heart of local communities. Visit, shop, and help keep them thriving!
