“Best bookstore ever! My best friend and I went into the store this morning with the intention of buying secret books for one another. Keon and Emily helped us both out and listened as we described each other’s favorite genres and tropes. They helped us pick out multiple options and we ended up buying almost all of them! They wrapped them up to make it like “blind date with a book!” It was so much fun and we can’t wait to go back and do this again! Such an unexpected adventure for a Sunday morning!”

“I absolutely love Necker's they had a whole horse section prices were a bit high I got 6 things and it costed 50$ so sheesh on the price but I went today and loved it.”
“2-3 months ago, I visited this Barnes and Nobles with my friends to start a book club. We were indecisive on whether we would want to do horror, mystery or science fiction. The worker helped us so much, and introduced us to a book (The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin). His summary of the book was amazing and hooked us to buying it. I hope the worker knows how grateful I am because this book was AMAZING (and this is coming from someone who mostly reads romance)lol! Def will come back to ask for more recommendations, these workers are awesome and know their stuff!”
“Can I just say how nice it is to still have a bookstore to go to? This is one is the same as ever, lots of selection, nice staff who love books who are willing to help.”
“This has been a go-to place of mine for years since Borders closed and most of the decent private booksellers are not in this area.
As is true with lots of places, things have gone a bit downhill since COVID, and the place is a bit shabby. It's comforting to still have easy chairs to sit in at a bookstore, but the Canton, CT chairs are worn out and disgustingly soiled. Surely, there is a budget for such things.
The cafe area is gross-- they should've continued to clean tables as they did following COVID.
The long-time bookselling staff is still friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.”
“Never had a problem and I've been going here for a year straight by now. Knowledgeable and friendly staff- if they don't know the answer they'll find it for you. No problems with returns, rentals, swaps or non-book purchases, and there are plenty of those to make in this little store! They have a sale area for note books, pens and little things. Name brand backpacks and plenty of Tunxis apparel to choose from! They know when there stock comes and goes- feel comfortable asking them for help- they are good people in my experience with them.”
“Nice Polish store that has things from souvenirs to Polish children's books to jewelry. Parking is on the street. Near lots of restaurants and grocery stores”

“This is a modest house, a second house this Block Buster author, probably equivalent to Star Wars of the time, built for herself...yes, this was before women were legally allowed to own her own property in the US! I was surprised at the popularity of Uncle Tom's cabin..you see a room of after effects not only in books and paraphernalia, but on wall paper produced at the time and restaurants being named after it. Our guide was a fantastic woman with a degree is sociology and it came through. She was friendly and open and made our tour interactive. She truly made our tour special. I learned so much about the time Stowe lived in and the Protestant minister father who made her a Catholic! Her 5 brothers all became ministers like their father...the two brothers who did not cut it, committed suicide! I felt immersed in the time while touring.”
“The staff and locals are so appreciative and awesome! Their spirit and love of Yale makes it. Pleasurable go to in New Haven! FYI-the clearance is not cheaper than the men’s upstairs. If your an avid sports workout female, you know men’s sports section is the best. The men’s small and medium is a cheaper and better fit and online shopping at Yale you will save 10-15% ordering online”
