“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!”
“Love Barnes and Noble. Good feeling place and I’m really grateful they have made it through against the evil Amazon empire of death. Great job Barnes and Noble keeping it analog and real! My kids love it too.”
“Heaven on earth for a Catholic. Every book you would ever want. Every Bible, lots of rosaries, all sorts of beautiful decorations and jewelry. I picked up Confessions and The Imitation of Christ in beautiful leather-like binding. I will be returning!”
“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.”
“We visit only 2-3 times a year, but it's always very friendly atmosphere.
Owners are welcoming and helpful.
We chat with them for quite a bit every single visit.
Great spot to buy polish books, polish souvenirs, send packages and many more.
Highly recommend.”
“MashaAllah this is a wonderful bookstore. I was impressed by just how many books there are, and how well they were all organized by topic. I also bought perfume, bakhoor, and an abaya. I was very satisfied with the service and the quality. I have been enjoying the books and gaining valuable Islamic knowledge.”
“We love Barnes and Noble and College book stores. This one was no exception. Very large selection of textbooks. Nicely laid out, not large compared to other Barnes and Nobles, but still a very nice selection of books.”
“Matthew did something small but amazing - I called and said I wouldn’t be able to make it by 4 p.m. to pick up my order. I was in town visiting and had a tight window. He said he’d come outside and hand me my order, and sure enough when I showed up he did. He could have very easily just been like “Sorry bro”. Thank you and I applaud the positive attitude!”

“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 owner is a sweetheart and a fair businesswoman. The store is organized and clean. Good vibes. She is very knowledgeable about the products. Prices are reasonable as well.”

“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.”
