“Wonderful, quaint bookstore with a focus on Indigenous American culture, art and of course books. The owner is author Louise Erdrich, and there is a section dedicated to her many, beautifully written books. The staff are very friendly and I have appreciated their recommendations. Shop local!”

“Great place for mysteries, crime, and suspense novels. Sections broken down into True Crime, Scottish Authors, Scandinavian Authors and so on. Fun and cozy independent bookstore!”

“This is an awesome indie bookstore with selections in a wide range of genres. The owner is a honey but has a hint of sass. Perfect! They know their inventory and can order almost anything you want.”

“I started coming here more than twenty years ago, when I still lived in Minneapolis. I just visited again when I was in town, and it's still an amazing store. It's a perfect blend of a comic book store and a science fiction bookstore. They have an impressive selection of both old comics and old books. They even have untranslated French-language comics.”

“I found this place by chance the night before, when I was looking for coffee shops in the area. This is a pretty small space, but very warm and inviting. These folks are still practicing covid safety protocols which is extremely reassuring, and they have an expansive selection of leftist political books, various categories ranging from theory and history to cooking and mental wellness. They even have children's and young adult books! There's something in here for everyone, and I'm really glad I visited. Will definitely be back whenever I find myself in the area again!”

“Wild Rumpus is a great book store. Love the setup, the variety of books, the book related merchandise. Then you add great staff and fun animals to visit. Love going to their weekly Storytime! They work hard to make it fun and engaging for the kids.”

“Heck Yes!!!!! Rachel?! Oh heck yes. I'm a reader in another city and don't read for myself. I was in from out-of-town (for my day job) and needed a reading. So happy to have found Rachel. She provided clarity to my situation which was unfolding exactly as I thought it was unfolding (with some unsavory tidbits). Thanks Rachel ... I think this Tarot reader has found my go-to Tarot reader (You said you'd do out-of-town readings, yes?).”

“Dawn was awesome and super helpful (thanks for understanding when I explained my situation with having my two dogs with me!), as I had at least a dozen questions during my visit—from “Do you have any statues of Hermes?” to “What can you tell me about this rare book?”, and although my visit was interrupted by an awkward and tense exchange with their reactive herbalist (who has a dog allergy, apparently), I still enjoyed my experience and I hope to visit again to meet their founder some day. As someone who has lived with “invisible disability” for more than half my life, I’m happy to announce that I’ve gotten better at standing up for my rights instead of letting the triggers of others ruin my day. If this weren’t the case, I would have walked out after the exchange with the herbalist and not spent almost $700, yep—mostly on rare books!.Please have your employees read the Americans with Disabilities section on service animals. There is so much misinformation out there regarding what qualifies as a service animal, and unfortunately, their herbalist seems to think that the only type of service animal that exists are PHYSICAL SEEING-EYE DOGS. This is a harmful myth. And I’m not even talking about Emotional Support Animals (which are NOT service animals).PRO-TIP: There are TWO QUESTIONS YOU CAN LEGALLY ASK A DISABLED PERSON TO DISCERN IF THEY HAVE A LAWFUL SERVICE ANIMAL. 1.) Does this animal provide a service to you as a disabled person? 2.) What is the service they provide?So, I might not “look disabled” but if you had digital x-ray vision, AND understood the mechanics of the cytochrome P450 pathway AND the destabilization of fascicle nanotubes, you might “get it.” ;)Technically, there are multiple categories of service animals, one category being MEDICAL. These are animals, typically dogs, that can communicate to their handler when the handler is experiencing a medical emergency. This is what my dogs are trained for.I tried explaining this and the herbalist actually tried to argue with me. LADY. If you can’t handle your own emotional triggers working in a public-facing place, maybe it’s time to take a vacation. I’m sure your allergies are awful, but not being able to listen to what someone is saying in a diplomatic way is a surefire sign that you are actually the problem in the equation, not the environment. =)My one dog with fur is about the size of an 8-month old baby. He’s old and rides in the top bunk of a stroller. The other dog is also tiny, and has hair, not fur. She rides in the bottom bunk. We use a stroller because Mom is a ninja-cripple and we are all safer using a stroller for many reasons. The dogs get to walk on leashes when we’re at a park, and they never go off leash anywhere.p.s. There is no such thing has service animal registration, that is also a harmful myth. Service animals are for disabled people, and you can train them yourself. There are helpful books on how to train your own service dog. It’s lawful, legal, supported by the federal government’s Americans with Disabilites Act. Know your rights and seize them. We deserve to live freely. Carpe Diem!p.p.s. I don’t need a response to this review, especially if there isn’t some accountability to the unprofessionalism I encountered. Just do better. Thanks, on behalf of the chronically-ill and disabled community.p.p.p.s. Thanks for being awesome, Dawn!”

“Tessa at the B& N in Minneapolis/Greenway, across from Lake Calhoun was phenomenal. She helped me over the phone and though her own location did not have the book I asked for, she ordered it from the warehouse AND told me of another location I could find it at. All that , with a smile in her voice. Thank you, Tessa! From Lili”

“Fantastic selection. I am pleased every single time. Some of these other reviews are not it. But then again, I don't go into stores like this when I am in a rush, or unwilling to let other people's energy be their own. I try to worry about myself and don't take things so personally. So maybe I'm always going to have a good to great experience bc of that ”

“I highly recommend this shop for any book lover. The workers are always friendly and willing to help (two of them even helped me find a merch shirt in my size). Prices for the books are average, but their stock is what makes this bookstore so fantastic. There are sections for every topic you can think of, I love the cookbook and fiction sections, particularly. If you want more than books, there's also puzzles, notebooks, t-shirts, bookmarks, etc. Parking: pay on-street parking. I recommend parking on 31st St, right off of Hennepin. Accessibility: wheel-chair accessible mostly (no step to get in, but no automatic door button). Bathrooms aren't wheelchair friendly (doors too narrow). Bathrooms: a bit stretchy, but the toilets and sinks are clean.”

“Loved looking through all the books, tons I’ve never heard of. Friendly staff but they still make you wear a mask upon entry. Excited to read this book I got about the toxic dyes we have in our clothes. Cute figurines and bags too!”

“I went into the store looking for paranormal and sci-fi romance and the staff members helped me find several authors that fit the bill. It felt like a treasure hunt in there. I loved the selection of Buffy and Angel books. And the shop dogs were so friendly.”

“Jim has been a good friend for more than 20 years and I often go just to visitBut it must be remembered that he is an expert in antiquarian books in general and has a very good selection of books, vinyl and maps and prints to choose from. Plus he can find just about anything he doesn't have in the store. He is a nationally known expert in the field and I couldn't be more positive in recommending Jim and the store to anyone looking for a specific book or record. It is a dynamite store!”

“Was looking for some old decorative books to use on a bookshelf and this place absolutely did not let me down. The owner was extremely knowledgeable of absolutely every book I asked her about, and we spent almost two hours browsing the incredible (albeit quite messy) collection of books ranging from $10 to upwards of $1000. Also available was a huge collection of maps and prints which we didn't even have time to explore. This was a fantastic experience and I will definitely be going back.”

“I went here originally from 2003-2006 and graduated with my AA before moving on to a four-year university. I'm back now almost 20 years later and sincerely appreciate this place. I didn't realize back then how fortunate I was to attend NHCC when comparing it to the big university campuses.”

“Great selection of leftist books and periodicals, including some used books. Expect to find friendly and helpful people hanging out, if you're looking for conversation. They carry the classics of theory as well as some newer fiction and analysis. Highly recommended.”

“Best Bookstore in town. Incredible selection for very reasonable prices. Tom and the staff may at times be a bit on the gruff side, but I find that is fairly typical for used book shop owners. Just don't be a jerk and you will be able to nestle into this bibliophile's haven and community fairly easily. Tom and Cathy are active in acquiring new stock, I have been coming in for nearly 40 years, and can always find something new, needed or fascinating. A true Twin Cities gem. One of the few legacy hold-outs from the golden ages of Twin Cites used book stores.”

“The AFLC Campus is a great place to receive a Biblical Education. I studied here for two years at the Bible College, and eventually came back for four more years at the Seminary. I love the atmosphere, the teachers and the community.The AFLC is also a wonderful church body, providing support for autonomous Congregations across the United States in a servant-hearted and advisory way. They believe in the freedom of the local church to govern itself.I see a lot of good things coming from the AFLC campus, and look forward to seeing how God uses this denomination for years to come.”

“Our Men-Who-Read Book Club had our monthly meetup here at Eat My Words book store. It's a charming used book store nestled in Northeast Minneapolis. A big selection of literature and history. As well as a nice selection of YA fiction and even cards by local artists. Certainly worth stopping in and browsing for fellow book lovers.”
