Big selection. Fun to browse, assuming you like books. Probably worth checking in often to see whats new on the shelves. Also, cool music

Wonderful! Owner was super friendly and helpful. Found lots to buy and more to come back for. Having a real bookshop to patronize was great.

This was such a great find!! My family and I were consignment shopping in Lakewood and came across this store- the owner was so sweet, and I was so impressed by the vibe his store had! He was incredibly welcoming and gave us some awesome recommendations, I will definitely be back when I am in town!

We had such a wonderful experience here. My husband had us sign up for the 2 hour booking which meant we had the entire store to ourselves for two hours. The owner was super friendly and inviting. Great atmosphere. Will definitely go back. If you like books, give this place a try.

One of my new favorite bookshops in the Cleveland area! Of course Hobbes, the wonderful, if not enigmatic, resident cat is a special joy for me. Also, the books are categorized so thoughtfully and cohesively- there are sections for all the most interesting topics I love that many bookstores don’t usually tend to delineate (e.g. folklore and mythology, ancient history, etc.) the owner is very kind and helpful and great to chat with. And everything is reasonably priced, as an added bonus.

Beautiful inside and hand built shelves. Good selection to browse. Average price as used books go, and well cared for books. Dont expect much on trade in books, the owner is much like Gamestop in that respect.

Cool selection of books for a small store. The owners know whats happening in the book world. And, of course, theres The Cat. Hobbes, by name.

This is a quaint little bookshop with the friendliest and most helpful owner I have ever met. Very kind man who cares alot about books. It is a small selection but the cat makes it worth the trip.

This place has an amazing vibe. It feels like a corner that you just wanna relax among the books and the little cat that just hangs around. I will go back!

A wonderful book shop with tons of charm and incredibly fair prices. I was looking for independent book stores in the area and stumbled across this place and am incredibly glad I did. The owner is incredibly personable and goes out of his way to make sure you feel welcome even when the store is busy. If you are looking for good used books, check this place out.

This is a small, local shop that carries some great books including some cool odd titles Id never seen before. Prices are very reasonable with fairly frequent sales. The owner is very friendly.

Review №21

Although I did not find the title I wanted, I found this small shop relaxed and friendly. The owner could use more books traded in by local residents. Support local businesses.

Review №23

I came in here to order a fairly obscure book and found out this was a used bookstore. I was disappointed, but told them what I was looking for (Bambi by Felix Salten), totally not expecting them to have this book, and they not only had it but they had AN EDITION FROM 1929. They hadnt even processed it yet, so the guy just charged me six dollars for it because it was in bad condition. (Whatever; I love this book and want to read it, I dont care if its missing the dust jacket and has stickers in it.) Supposedly theyll be able to order new books in a couple weeks.Also theres a bookstore cat here, but according to the sign she likes to bite and scratch. :(

The owner is extremely knowledgeable, and so honest that after we had completed a trade, he called me to tell me that he owed me more credit, because he had miscalculated. My first stop for odd books that I will actually read.

Hippie-esque, half of it was a bookstore, the other half a cafe. Food was okay and the book selection was limited, though it did prove to serve to most consumers.
