I'm an avid reader and absolutely love bookstores. Unfortunately, I could not find anything to love about this store because of the unfriendly attitude and treatment on my visit. Shoppers are discouraged from browsing and looking at the books (you can't judge a book by its cover after all). The shopkeeper is not only unwelcoming, she is rude and snobby. I took my business to the other bookstore on the island.

I just spoke to an extremely rude woman who identified as the owner of the shop. Whether this is a good bookseller or not, I do not know - nor will I ever take the opportunity to find out. Manners say a lot about a person's business.

There are 2 independent bookstores in Palm Beach, this is one of them and it is located on the North end of Palm Beach. I never knew this one existed and I'll tell you why... they don't allow pictures to be taken in here. So for reviewers such as myself who wish to show off their shelves of different authors or genres for other bibliophiles to see, that's not going to happen here. I was able to take a single photo of the book I purchased only. Obviously, I prefer the other bookstore because they made me feel more welcome. The customer service in this one was ok as well but let's face it, I am an African American Woman, and this IS Palm Beach so was I surprised that I was watched like a hawk? Nah. I will say this though... if you can't find whatever book you are looking for here try the Classic Bookshop located further down the way. Respectfully Reviewed.

My girl friends and I were on a short weekend vacation when we decided to walk into this bookstore. It’s small, intimate, and run by the sweetest owner. I also have to mention her dog Sailor greeted us immediately and let us give her so much attention!!! Surely the highlight of the visit. I ended up purchasing a book and can’t wait to read Reluctant Immortals by Gwendolyn Kiste. Great experience and hope to visit again soon.

I don't know what it is about this bookstore. I have come in here often over the past 10 years, and every time I come in, I get pretty much the same experience. The owners, managers, whoever they are all seem to have a horrible attitude. If you dislike this business so bad, then lock the doors and never come back. I don't know why they have such a rude attitude towards all of their customers. It's as if they just simply don't want to be bothered. Again lock the doors through all the way the keys and never come back. Live a happier life than being miserable all the time.

Cute little bookstore that has been around forever. Good selection for discovering a new read or picking up a gift. They have some beautiful coffee table books at the front of the store which would be great for gifts.

I just love The Palm Beach Book Store. Since 1989 TPBBS has been been instrumental in providing quality curated books for the island of Palm Beach- From children's books, to lifestyle books, to autobiographies, to cookbooks. A great store for gifts for friends and yourself. It's important to support local bookstores, especially The Palm Beach Book Store. Stop in today- you'll be glad you did!

By far the worst experience I’ve ever had at a bookstore. After politely declining the employee’s offer for assistance, she later accosted me while browsing a book, asking in a nasty and accusatory tone “are you taking down our books?!” First unsure if she thought I was taking books down and misplacing them on the shelves, I realized she was asking me if I was writing down the titles of books in the store on my phone (as though this were a banned practice if I had been). She proceeded to follow me around the shop standing uncomfortably close behind me and treating me like a potential thief. She likewise acted annoyed when a gentlemen entered the store to pick up a book he had ordered for pickup, as though his presence were an intrusion upon her private collection. Happy to take my business elsewhere and hope anyone reading this considers doing the same!

The lady working was rude, she followed me around the entire store, and told me she was closing up even though it was 30 minutes early. I’ll just drive down to the other book store on the island who are much kinder and more helpful.
