Wide selection of books - extensive staff recommendations throughout the store with well-written recommendation cards. Helped me discover several amazing reads that I wouldn’t have picked on my own. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Great place for gifts with their collection of toys and random goods scattered among the books.

Such a great locally owned bookstore! I thought the selection of books was fantastic. It took me a bit to get the layout of the store. They split fiction by hardcover and softcover, so I was going back and forth across the store trying to find books. Two of the books I wanted were actually just on a table up front instead. 😵💫 But it was a rainy day so I didn't mind spending the time to look around. In hindsight I should have just asked an employee 😂

Independent bookstores are rare these days and this is a nice one.a different experience from buying on Amazon; I stumbled on and bought a Farley Mowat book my children loved, that I never read. Do stop in if you're in Wellesley!

A gem of a bookstore in downtown Wellesley. Lots of great books (real books!) to choose from, all categories in wide aisles. Reading room downstairs. Plenty of free parking behind the store.

This is a FANTASTIC bookstore. The selection of children's books is particularly amazing, and, if you are looking for something for a birthday, they provide great gift-wrapping -- unfortunately, a rarity these days. The people there are all very nice, very knowledgeable, and very kind. Wellesley and all of the Boston area are so lucky to still have this level of service available. Congratulations to all involved!
