“This book store is like a teensy slice of heaven for readers of the unusual ? lots of old and unique finds plus the books that are new releases are also not your "every day reads". You can find everything from poetry from Italy in the 1800s to rare graphic novels here. All of the staff are the perfect combination of professional and friendly as well. They also allow friendly pets which is absolutely lovely. We just found Juniper Books about a month ago, and now we make it one of our most important stops every weekend. ???”
“Great collection with good prices & a friendly, helpful staff. I love the children's room with little furniture & stuffed animals. I tend toward the excellent art section. There is a nice local history section.”
“I was in there today and a storm hit and the roof was coming off and rain was getting on everything my heart was aching for them I helped as long as I could to get stuff moved to a dry spot but they were in a very desperate situation. The lights started flashing and it was so intense! Please pray for the owners! As we drove away I saw more of the roof come off. I'm going in the AM to offer my help cleaning. God sent me there for a reason now I'll let him work through me to help as much as I can.”
“The books here are wonderful. Literally full of wonder! The owner is also an absolute gem. Ask her about her puzzles on the wall and watch her light up like a Christmas tree”
“Decent price, similar to the internet for some books I've checked. Good costumer service, cozy environment! I love kindle, but is great visiting a book store sometimes.”
“This place is so cute! The workers were so friendly. They have lots of local author’s books in store which is think is great for the community. I will be back!”
“The owner was very professional and informative about the items I was looking for. I will definitely return. The staff also made me feel like family . That's rare in today's society.”
“10/10! Real nice little comic store near the border. We came in from Michigan and my son was very happy with their collection! We picked up some vintage spider man comics and we would recommend visiting if you are close by!”

“Being from the suburbs, we've never had exposure to any place like this. We meet the owner and a few others. Conversation was engaging and the atmosphere was relaxed. We came during the day on bikes and had no concerns at all. Go there, you'll have a rich time.”

“Excellent Used Book Store!!! They had the book I've been looking for a long time! I tried John King and some others, but, couldn't find it!! Dicey's Song by Cynthia Voight is a book that I read as a teen and wanted to read again! My Heart was Very Happy to have found it here! This wasn't a planned trip, I took my daughter to another store and to pass the time came here, and Wow! I'm so Glad I came! The worker was So Nice and helpful! I got the 30 year old book in hardback, which he said, was a very rare find! Run don't walk the Paper Trail Books! You just might find a long lost book from your youth like I did! The price was Right, $6.50! I was thinking about ordering it online, now, I don't have to worry about it! I'd much rather help this small business!”

“The last several months their self help computer hasn't worked and the odd staff member just seems miserable and didn't want to be there. A few of the newer books that had just come out weren't in stock; only online.
Otherwise, the rest of the staff are super efficient and friendly. Quick to help find the book you are looking for that is in stock.
Personally the downfall is their section for religion, spirituality and witchcraft should be better sorted. Christian based witchcraft should be separated from true Wiccan Witchcraft. Many witchcraft books can be hard to tell which ones are churchy based from the traditional until you've read a chapter or two into them.
Finding a vast variety of religion books is extremely hard. I have never seen anything other than Catholicism, Christianity and Buddhism.”
“Relevant, organized, welcoming, temperature comfortable, and remote viewing of content optional. Speakers and guest are local and from abroad. Not pressured, come as you are.”
“Kathy is awesome. I was looking for a certain author she said by the name I mentioned it wasn't there. But I shall come to see her and look because I didn't have time.We shared some stories and memories and Annie couldn't have a better staff member then Kathy.have much time when I went. Thank you so much Kathy for time very well spent.Christine.”

“Ruben (the owner) is friendly and very informative when it comes to all the products in the store. He can educate you on basically all the products he carries and will help you pick out options that he thinks are best for you. I’m frequently in the store looking at new inventory and choosing new books to purchase. I will continue to be a returning customer!”
“Great shop and staff! I met Richard at a record show in Ann Arbor. He had a few things I was looking for but he encouraged me to get to his shop because he said that he would have a lot of it there, (I was searching for a wide variety of 45’s).When I got there he had my list and started his search. He easily found 50+ records that were on my list. He was awesome and kind. I won’t hesitate to head his way again. I’m not a record expert and don’t claim to be BUT Richard IS!Thank you for your help and fair prices!”
