“Lovely bookstore. I'm not much of a reader, but I was in town and had time to kill so I came in here and ask for a book suggestion. The gentleman that helped me was very nice and asked some questions and help me land on a perfect book”
“probably one of my all time favorite bookstores. i couldn't place it for so long but then i read one of their newsletters and learned that they use borders old bookshelves and that explains the cozy but familiar vibe. staffs always great and i love the sticker and stationary selection as well. i can never just pop in without buying something ?”
“They are always helpful and have an amazing selection of books. I've never encountered any problems here. I bigotry l highly recommend this store to a lot of my friends.”
“Owner was super helpful and friendly. Bookstore is a rare gem. Great finds. Def. worth supporting a wonderful local niche bookstore like this one. Wonderful all around.”
“Cute little shop! I didn’t have too much time to browse around, but there was a good selection of books and prices were reasonable. I would definitely go back.”
“Magical gem here in Ann Arbor. My partner and I are visiting from Seattle and looking for a particular book, thinking it would be difficult to find, this lovely bookstore had it. It was challenging to get past the curated staff selected books upon walking in! So many wonderful, intentional options. The upstairs is completely open for public lounging, purchase a book, wonder upstairs, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the ambiance. Will be coming back!”
“Good sales like an $18 battery pack, but overpriced and understocked. Typical uni bookstore. There are certainly cheaper pdfs (free) online vs $150 books and $50 course packs. YmmvGreenbooks are 90 cents”
“A nice little bookshop inside the Ann Arbor public library. Smaller than the dedicated stores downtown, but the books are packed tight and CHEAP. A better deal than anywhere else in town.”
“I dont often review things/places but the amount of knowledge in the place is astounding, and at a very reasonable price, even if you have to actually look through disparate places to find books that you want.”

Book Stores
“While not comparable to Michigan Commons on Central Campus, this place can hold its own. The food options available are Panda Express (in the basement), Ahmo's (in the basement), Sushi by Panda (on the 2nd floor), and Fireside Cafe (on the second floor). Fireside Cafe has 3 stations, one of which is always food from an outside restaurant, like Jamaican J*** Pit. One of the other stations has a standard line-up of burgers, and the remaining station seems to switch between bibimbop and burritos. Overall, the food isn't fantastic and can't compare to all the restaurants on Central Campus. However, it's more than enough when you want a convenient lunch. Aside from the food, Pierpont has study areas as well. However, I tend to avoid doing work here because it can be pretty loud and the study area by the piano often smells like sweat... Yay, engineers! I would recommend walking a minute more and studying in Duderstadt. There's also a Barnes and Noble, a bank, and a computing center.”
“I love Barnes & Nobles. It’s a nice one and has really helpful staff. Wasn’t impressed that much of the Starbucks inside . My drink tasted quite different than elsewhere.”
