Came in looking for something for a child with autism (sensory, texture). Asked a rep (older woman with grey hair/glasses) who was of 0 help. She had me help her look in a section designated for adults. The woman had an unfriendly vibe to her and u can tell she had no idea what she was looking for. When I said I had to go she became sort of defensive. Its really not my job to be helping me guide you in your place of work. Would likely not come in again based on my experience with that employee alone.

This is my go-to spot for books locally. There is a warm, friendly environment. It is very neat, organized, and clean - just how I would like my own library. It is well lit with lots of good features on display. Oh, and signing events with authors! Eragon! They do have medieval fantasy titles and books too! There is a whole section dedicated to that - more geared towards young adults. But it is good to see a few Dungeons & Dragons titles here and there! If you are a local teacher, inquire about the discount! For educational staff too, I think? This is valuable and a good way to support local bookstores.

This bookstore is busy and energetic- many readers in the store- young and old. Big variety of topics, new and current. They have events, autographed books, toys and games here. Didn't see any used books. Every inch is full of an enticing books or other item! Good selection of travel books by country - thanked for having several books on Scotland! Great staff of book-lovers - they know their stuff!

I went in recently to find a specific book which they didn't have. I ended up picking up two other books because I just couldn't resist. The woman who rung me up made nice small talk and I mentioned I was looking for something in particular and she didn't miss a beat and looked up up to order. She called the very next day and I went to pick it up. The level of service was awesome. They made me feel as if I had been shopping with them forever. Cant wait to go back.

Went to Bookshop for the first time on Sunday and I can't wait to go back! The two ladies working there were super friendly and helpful. The store is clean and very organized with a welcoming feel. Ended up buying 4 books and was happy to support a local business.

This lovely independent bookstore is a gem. It has a great selection and knowledgeable, friendly staff. You can even order books on their website and pick up in the store if you want to support local bookstores! My orders usually arrive within a day or two so this is a great option.
