Thank you so much for helping me pick out the right gift for my wife today. I really appreciate you guys making it look like a beautiful gift, instead of just a jewelry box I'm sure she will like both sets of earrings. Heck, I like them. lol. I was even able to stop by a flower shop called "the flower basket" and they spruced it up even more and it all matches wonderfully! Highly recommend your beautiful shop!

Took a walking tour of the historic architecture in Aurora. Was really cool and I appreciated being to be able to actually go in some of the buildings too. Very cool. The bookshop is cheerful and quirky. Looking forward to bringing my daughter back to shop.

I grew up going to big box book stores. Let me tell you, nothing beats a small local bookshop. You get all of the charm plus fantastic service. The staff was so kind. I contacted them asking if they had a specific book and I got a response so fast. They held the book for me so I could just come pick it up. I ended up buying christmas presents for my nephews while I was there and a few extra books for me!

Our family adores Yellow Bird Books! We have needed an independent book shop in Aurora and Yellow Bird is the perfect fit in the downtown. Karen the owner takes a lot of pride in her shop and is truly invested in having a great selection of books as well as local art and gifts.

I really love this independently owner little book store. I try to stop and buy every time I am in town. On my first visit here I was able to get an independent book store map for the Midwest and thanks to Yellow Bird I have now visited multiple indie book stores in Missouri and Wisconsin.
