Redux Books is an independent bookstore nestled in the Eastown Neighborhood of Grand Rapids. It is a beautiful gem and a haven for bibliophiles of all types, described as a very fun little bookstore with a cozy atmosphere. The shop offers a huge selection of vintage, collectible, and used books, including rare finds, first editions, and many old books. It contains a huge variety, with unique offerings and hidden gems among the shelves, some of which can be hard to find anywhere else. The staff is noted as being very knowledgeable. The organization of the store leaves something to be desired, however, and you have to work for it a bit to find stuff, though not too hard. The space is musty from the plethora of ancient tomes. Some customers note that pricing can be inconsistent or unclear, with some books perceived as slightly overpriced, while others acknowledge that rare or first edition books command higher prices appropriately. It is a great store for those seeking a specific, rare, or first edition book. The store invites exploration, with a ton to look through, and is highly recommended for those who appreciate the timeless magic of printed words.
I love this place! You’ll enjoy it if you’re looking for that old, dusty, cluttered bookstore feel. Coming here is like a treasure hunt!

I ordered and paid for a two volume set of books from Redux Books through Abe Books. Unfortunately, they only sent the 2nd Volume to me which is useless without the 1st Volume. Fortunately, when I contacted them, Josh at Redux made sure that the first volume of the set was sent to me. They did great!

This place is full if beautiful books. Some of them remind me of my childhood. The staff is friendly. Don't forget the lower floor.
