“Great little house made into a bookstore in Windsor. I didn’t think they would have one in this town but they do. It’s not quite John K King in Detroit but it has very good selection and reasonably priced secondhand. Roger the owner was very friendly and had some really great recommendations too! I got a couple to take with me. Excellent place in a town that doesn’t have a lot to offer.”
“I took my kid to pick out a book. He quickly found a couple books and was very pleased.
The shop is incredibly pleasant and the employee we spoke with was very friendly.”
“I was Drew and Emily's first customer at their pop up at Jazzin on Jefferson. I puchased Braiding Sweetgrass. I was thrilled when they took over the space on Michigan Avenue. We're fellow creative writing program graduates from Michigan, so the bookshelves takes back to the Hopwood Room, but one that has been decolonized. I mostly read nonfiction these days, but can't resist the occasional book of poems. PS: they have a $10 clearance shelf.”
“My go to book store in Windsor. Staff is amazing and always have recomendations in the store. Walkable area, lots of events held in store with local authors. Used book selection is great, and they buy gently used books.”

“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.”

“This is my 2nd time stopping by I couldn't find "the glasses" for my husband and I. They just happened to be giving them away. I was informed by a young lady at the bank. We got our free glasses but I popped in to get my daughter a puzzle and grabbed a book. It's super cute.”

“Enjoy the experience so much that the drive from the far east side doesn't hinder me. The store is about 50 percent book space and the other half fun reading/writing related merch. The staff is great and extremely knowledgeable about todays reader needs.”
“So it's my partners birthday, and he's a huge Anne Rice fan. Hmmm, I thought. So I googled and this site came up with a 1st edition of Interview of a Vampire. WOW !!! Okay, so that's great. But the story just began. I called. Yes the book was available. It turned out that owner was chatting with me. What a great person - kind, friendly, and so into his books. I mentioned my short time frame - birthday and all. He assured me no problem. I got a lot of emails confirming the status, and arrival, and it even came ahead of plan. This is a shop we should all support. Books are so important in a digital world. Thanks for all the help. I give my partner the book tomorrow and can't wait to see his smile!”

“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!”
“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.”
