Great selection. The staff there greeted me right away. Looked up an author for me and made recommendations. The price of the book I bought was the exact same price that Mr. Bazos would sell it to you. I will come back.

I love this local bookstore! They have fabulous customer service and great response time when ordering. If they don’t have a book in stock, they will do their best to find it & get it quickly. I have done so many orders throughout the pandemic & have really appreciated their quick & efficient curbside pick up.

I had to ask them for some orders to send to the USA because Im in Europe, and they were very attentive, kind and patient. They looked for the books I asked for and sent them as quickly as possible. When I chose them I knew that I would not be wrong and I did not. Beaverdale Books is more than recommended, I am very grateful to them and I encourage everyone to buy them books, even if they do not live in that city, they will help you the same. Thanks a lot for your patience, guys.

Nice local bookstore. They have some indie books, recent releases. They take cards.

Listed as a Christian book store. Not so much

This my go to bookstore. The people are always friendly and it is a joy to shop here.

Fun selections to browse and will order other books on for you.

Very easy to order over the phone and pick up at curbside.

I think it is probably great place, but covid is ruining it. I did buy a book, but was greeted at the door and had it practically slammed in my face by staff because I tried to walk in before I realized store is not open. I asked for a specific book which they had, thank you, but there was no way to browse and he did not ask if there anything else I wanted to see.

Great bookshop.

Wonderful independent bookstore! It had the entire series of a popular kids book my son (age10) has been unable to find at the big box stores. He was over the moon to buy the remaining 3 volumes to complete his set! Unique and locally made gifts reasonably priced. Friendly, engaging and helpful staff. Hosts book signings and events. Definitely worth a visit! Thanks for a FUNtastic experience! Well be back

Really disappointing. I hoped to find a gem of a store but covid must have destroyed.

Great tiny bookstore. It had such a good selection of books, and workers recommendations as well. Feels really cozy and small-businessy. Really great environment.

An absolute treasure in our neighborhood. Lovely staff, impeccably well-curated collection, and a cozy atmosphere. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Very helpful staff.

Cozy and quiet, this bookstore was lovely. Theres a vast selection of books, including an entire section on Iowa authors. I will definitely be visiting again when Im in town!

Very nice selection of books! The employees were very helpful and found three books that I know Ill enjoy. Great neighborhood shop.

An independent bookstore, that I didnt know existed was a great surprise. Im happy my friend introduced me to this well stocked with a good variety of books bookstore.

I love little locally owned bookstores, so Im slightly biase. Little store packed with books run by a nice lady. She offered to order the book I wanted but I found something else instead. I will go back there if Im ever in the area.

Great place! I really didnt want to drive to the westside for a book. Stopped into Beaverdale Books, and they had the book I was after. It made my day. Also if they dont have what you want they will find it for you. 2 thumbs up👍👍

Enjoy this place and if they dont have what youre looking for they will for sure you order it for you

Beaverdale Books carries autographed copies of my book, Leoras Letters: The of Love and Loss for an Iowa Family During World War II, the story of the Wilson brothers who are on the Dallas County Freedom Rock. All five enlisted. Only two came home.

We have only been here twice so far, but well be back again and again. Its easy to forget how great going into an actual bookstore is, in the era of Amazon, but when my child has a whole nook with books she can look at, try out and ultimately decide on, I remembered quite quickly. The few that work there instantly know where the books are and what they have. They dont have to look it up on a computer. The shopping area its in and the fact that is on a street with a bike lane make it easy to get to, and it is already easy to spend time and money within.

This place is great! Friendly people and some good titles!! They can order books too!

Total appreciation for Indie bookstores!

They are not open to the public, due to covid 19.

Great selection, super nice staff, and I always support a local business.

Great indie bookseller with a charming shop and very involved in the neighborhood.

Very helpful! They are great about ordering books and so quick to get them!

Lovely local bookstore that provides the most awesome level of service.

Excellent customer service! And very friendly, too. I just stopped in to purchase a required reading book for my sophomore son. They were sold out but will have a copy for me in just 4 days! Thats fast and I shopped LOCAL not online! Thanks!

It is just a wonderful experience getting to look for and purchase books at this store. The staff is the best.

Live in the neighborhood but had not visited. Lovely book store. Grandson and I had a nice time.

Nice small bookstore. Books easy to find and well displayed. Staff helpful.

Can’t say enough about the service! Lovely store that is truly devoted to the world of books. Thank you for staying open late so i could stop by and buy a book for my daughter-so very kind!

One of my favorite spots in the area. I feel relaxed the minute I walk through the door ...

This is a DM treasure. Well-read staff with an eye for great books and even better, good old fashioned conversation. One could spend hours and dollars in here.

One of the best independent bookstores. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Everything you want out of a cozy neighborhood bookstore. Well stocked on local reads as well.
