“Possibly my best experience of being in a bookstore like ever.The staff were exceptional: fun and engaged and super-helpful above and beyond to even trying to help with queries that were not book related and more local knowledge.They were also happy for me and my daughter to grab some time TOGETHER in the tiny round kids’ reading snug while we read about the poet Rumi. Even though it wasn’t massively “roomy” as we kept joking, it was a very special experience. Naturally we bought the book :-)Nikki Wordsmith”
“This is not a large bookstore, however it is incredibly curated! It is locally owned and she does a wonderful job at having a wide variety of books that speak to a reader's soul. Perfect for fantasy and sci-fi readers. She is also more than capable of helping you find what it is that you need and ordering things in as well. Strongly recommend to stop at this bookstore whenever you can!”
“Customer service here was top tier ? the guys were so welcoming and fun, they answered every question my 8 year old needed to start his first collection, told us (parents) what’s best for his age, even told me about signings so my son could attend the ones he’s interested in!! Someone even bought my son a comic to add to what we purchased because he was excited to see him starting. The store was so organized and they have a huge $1 section as well. Definitely recommend and we will be back as regulars.”
“Stumbled upon this place while walking through downtown Dunedin. The staff was very welcoming and friendly- almost immediately explaining how the new/used items were shelved together, where to see the prices. Which were very reasonable! Also pointed out the size of my socks- I accidentally grabbed a small which was very helpful. Very clean store. Highly recommend this business!”
“What an amazing place! The Book Lounge in St. Pete feels like a refuge, a place apart from the outside world. Very nice book selection. It brings to mind a series of books that I read once about a special bookstore in Barcelona by the Spanish author Carlos Ruiz Zafron (The series begins with The Shadow of the Wind). The atmosphere, music, wall art and overall decor is spectacular. Comfy seating. Great staff. The wine and charcuterie selection is innovative; standard meats/cheese, very nice veggie selection, but we got an item from the Fishwife Experience selection of quality tinned seafood. We got the Smoked Rainbow Trout in Red Chimichuri sauce. Opened tin served with cornichon, olives, carrots, crackers and a small pepper made this a wonderful flavor and taste combination. A very nice Chehalem INOX Unoaked Chard to go with it. And a very tasty non-alcoholic lemon drink. Their NA and mocktail selection was very good. Excellent value for dollar spent! Go here for a nice book selection, and some great charcuterie and wine and to especially if you are in need of a little respite from the outside world.”
“I went here for the first time today and was so impressed! The selection of books was incredible. There were a lot of newer books as well. The prices were very reasonable as well. I will definitely be back.”
“Stepping into the store I was immediately impressed by the layout and placement of items. It was warm and inviting. Then I became even more impressed by the unbelievable customer service I received from Natalia and Terry. They went above and beyond in finding a book I was looking for, ordering it, and ringing up my purchases. They both had incredible knowledge of the books and items in the store. And they both had an interest in me, a customer.
It was a very pleasant experience!”
“This Barnes is amazing!! The staff is absolutely nothing but special. One in particular is Donita. She always goes out of her way to take good care of me when I call up there or come in. She is always smiling and very professional. She is the reason I constantly come back to this store. Thank you Donita and the whole staff for making my time special.”

“The girl working was very nice and took the time to describe the differences in all the different kinds of Bibles. I was looking for something for my seven-year-old grandson, I ended up buying two!”
“Absolutely wonderful little store with great books, in English and in French and quite unique and hilarious knick knacks, unusual decorative and nice jewelry. Above all I come here to see and hug the ever gracious gem of a woman who works there. Merci ❤️ ❤️”
“The people and product here are great! They have a large selection and even take requests of product they may have at another location. Great customer experience and a great selection of game oriented merchandise!Paul”
“It's a bookstore for the college there, but they also sell to the public. They had really good racks of books, coffee table books to novels, in like new condition for dirt cheap. It's inside the library building and also a great little library, the library can get books sent there fast from other libraries.”
“I'm so glad we have an Ollie's! Good bargains... well stocked. They had items I would have never thought about and some that I'd been eyeing online but the prices are so much lower. I just wish the store was bigger.”
“We went to buy books for an upcoming semester. This was a new experience for the child and I, we had some troubles figure some things out. We had the pleasure of working with the Assistant Manager, he was great! Very helpful and understanding. We left with books ordered, and happy to have had it go so smoothly. Let's hope the future encounters are as easy.”
“It’s very unfortunate how the young folks act like fools and get kicked out of this store leave reviews that are negative if you conduct yourself in a respectful manner this wouldn’t happen, I’ve had nothing but great experiences when I’ve been in this store I feel as if the owner goes above and beyond for my request being an avid Pokémon card collector she usually has something behind the counter!”
“Best used book store around. Big selection, sorted by author, so easy to locate what you are looking for. Prices are good $2-$3/book. Also tons of cds, cassettes, records, dvds and vhs tapes. I even saw a vhs player for $5. Big building as well so lots of room to roam around and browse.”
