So sad that in this era of relentless tracking and bombardment with advertising that an independent bookshop is part of the problem. Ordered a book. Paid with credit card. Thoughtlessly gave my email to be notified when book arrived. Started getting email newsletters from Bright Side and other bookselling marketing I never requested. Won't shop here again, as my privacy was not respected.

So disappointed in my visit today, my family and I were watched like hawks and were the only ones approached (we just so happened to be the only non-caucasian people in the store at the time, which i'm sure isn't a coincidence), all the workers were being very blatant about staring at us and one workers made it a point to stay near me the whole time I was in the store. It made for a very uncomfortable shopping experience. It's so sad to still be living in a world where this stuff is allowed and based on the entire staffs reaction to hispanics looking around, seems to be encouraged behavior. Do better you guys.

This is a beautiful, well organised bookstore with a huge variety of titles. There’s lots of staff on hand to help too. I particularly loved how thoughtful the staff recommendations were that were dotted around the store. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing bookstore. They have a mix of popular books and independently published books that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Whoever is doing their book orders is a genius. 5/5

Bookstores are magical places and Bright Side is no exception. My family recently visited Flagstaff so of course we needed to visit a bookstore. Bright Side Bookshop was such a wonderful place that we returned 4 times during our 5 day visit. The books are amazing. They have written recommendations around the store for different books. These recommendations are written by different employees and were so helpful. They also have more than just books. The stickers and art supplies are wonderful. Their T-shirts are adorable and great quality. Their staff are also so friendly and welcoming. We worked with Sam and she has such a passion for books that she could have her own YouTube channel! I cannot say enough good things about this store. We will return when we are back in Flagstaff next year!

Our family visited Flagstaff this week. We always try to find a good local bookstore. Bright Side Bookshop was AMAZING.The first day we went there my wife and daughter loved the book recommendations that were listed by Sam—and some other they haven’t read yet. We bought some books that day but knew we would be back again.Today we went back and was greeted by a super friendly person (actually everyone was friendly) but she commented how how she liked my daughter Manon Blackbeak shirt. They book-nerded out on the Sarah J. Maas books and then I noticed her name tag— Sam.We told her we liked her recommendations that were listed on the shelves. Then Sam spent 30 minutes making more book recommendations and giving the synopsis of each book. My daughter loved every minute of it and happily bought 6 books.Sam is a book whisperer.It was a wonderful book store with exceptional book selection. My dad bought two books (a book on essays by a nature writer and a book of poems. My dad loves local bookstores and was very impressed with this one.We will certainly be back to this bookshop—likely even tomorrow.Come support this local bookstore in Flagstaff.

Friendly staff who will help you pick out books. Great atmosphere. Wish they had some tables so I could hang around the shop. Shop local!
