“I always enjoy stopping into Baker. I can always count on finding something (usually too many things, haha)! They have a great selection and wide variety of books, fiction and nonfiction. The store is well-organized and clean. The employees are always helpful and usually go out of their way to ask if you’re finding everything alright. I enjoy that they still mail out coupons and a little catalog as well.”
“I used to visit Argos back in the day when we lived in GR, mostly for comic books. When I say 'back in the day'. I mean 1986 - 1989. My go to spots included Argos and Memory Aisle Books - for those GR natives old enough to remember that former used book store. It is wonderful to see that Argos is still open and cruising along. Any person/family who owns, operates, and manages a shop like this truly has their heart invested. I'm sure there's been lots of blood, sweat, and tears (and organizing many stacks of books) along the way. Thanks for keeping this iconic business alive and thriving.”
“I recommend checking this spot out! Very cute and clean shop, nice selection of books (not a huge variety, but they have a lot of popular books for adults and kids), and the customer service was wonderful! Very friendly and helpful in finding the books I was searching for. I'll absolutely be shopping there again.”
“Best store in the area for all things Catholic! My favorite part of the store is their excellent selection of books - from bibles, prayer books, books on the saints, theology, apologetics, the popes, and more!”
“Visited today with my friend and we were blown away. This store is wonderfully curated, as an advid reader, I'm thoroughly impressed with their selection as they have lots of indie pub books and I think there are even some self pub books. And if you are a girlie who loves bookish knick nacks this is the place for you. For me it is worth more that the 45 min drive from my house.”
“A book lovers book store. Owner was amazing, rad curation and variety. Was looking for the 3rd book in dune series from 1975 Berkley publisher and it was the only dune book she had in stock. Im still shocked lol. Such a cool morning find.”
“Child 1st Publications has superb learning materials for children! Our favorites so far are the SnapWords cards, the SnapWords Spelling Dictionary, and the The Illustrated Book of Sounds & Their Spelling Patterns. The Right Brained Math Book was also helpful. Thanks for making learning easier for kids!”
“I am always enthralled by the sheer size of merchandise available in university's stores. Calvin Campus Store is no exception. It carries a very large collection of branded Calvin University items ranging from fashion, wearable, decorative, gifts, writing materials, and more. Students and other members of the community can easily have access to important goods that may desire.”
“Love this college, wish my kids would have choosen it but a lot of their friends have and they really enjoy the small town feel of it yet it is soo close to Grand Rapids with all of the bigger town things to do. Great Athletic program, beautiful campus and well worth a visit.”
“The staff were very kind and helpful. As soon as I entered, they approached me to offer help finding my books. The purchase went smooth, even with me forgetting my college ID at home. I wish the hours were a bit more extended, so full-time workers from out of town could make it up there without speeding. :)”
“Great used book selections for kids, youth, and grownups. Nice cafe. Unique games and puzzles. Love all the authors they bring in for discussions and book signings. You can always find autographed books, even in the used books.”
