“The folks here are SO SWEET! There were some issues getting me my package (I live a few hours away and ordered a special edition a few months in advance, PLUS i moved during the time between placing my order and it arriving) and they were incredibly patient and kind and proactive in getting me my book. Thank you to every one of y’all who called me to verify my address or to check with me about details. I really appreciate how helpful everyone was and how they were determined to get me my book! It arrived in perfect condition with a cute bookmark too! Thank you to The Novel Neighbor—I will definitely be checking out the store when I am next in the area :)”
“The best little bookstore! I took my kiddo here to shop for her birthday and we will 100% be returning. There is something here for everyone and the vibes are immaculate.”
“Overall, this was a great store. I did end up purchasing something from this store. Although it's not exactly what I wanted, I needed something and was short on time. So I'm going to have to make do with what I purchased. Staff was friendly at the register. There were 2 staff members wandering around the store. Neither one of them ever approached me and offered help.I will say that was kind of a downside to the store.”
“I decided to pop in for a few minutes while exploring Central West End, and I was not disappointed! Left Bank Books is a true gem, and the staff were all very friendly. I definitely plan on coming back soon.”
“It's definitely a bookstore. They have a big selection; you definitely won't find everything on your list here, but you can't be too picky. Decent prices.”

“This is my go to book store for all the children in my life. I love that the bookstore is black owned and most of their books are by black authors. Their shipping is wicked fast. Their prices are extremely resonante. They have a loyal customer!”
“I freaking love this place and the attached Starbucks. Barnes + Noble is one of my favorite stores since they offer so much more than just regular books, and it’s so nice to escape into the big but cozy store after walking around the hectic mall. I love that they carry calico critters unlike the larger Fenton location, and I also love the studio ghibli items being sold recently. Workers are friendly and the atmosphere is always inviting!”
“I'm here on business for a couple weeks so I spend all my spare time here reading a book in the cafe drinking an Earl Grey tea. I love the atmosphere and the people working there are very friendly. I am not impressed with the book selection here but I don't really go there to buy books... I go there to read and relax.”
“A great shop full of exceptionally priced gems. Brad is great, talking old music and spinning every new piece of vinyl he gets in with an open mind. Great prices given for used material, and he even threw in a fave of his to turn me on to something new! Might be my favorite used record store in the entire country, and I'll be saving my used discs to sell there whenever I'm on vacation. Also kindly offered advice for food and to hook me up with his disc golf buddies!!
This place rocks!!!”
“I love books and bookstores! Finally got the chance to step into Dunaway Books, and the place is beautiful. A really eclectic collection of rare and vintage books, as well as less expensive fiction and nonfiction titles. A word of warning: make sure you have a few hours to spend before you go in... you're going to need it.”
“It's just something about the smell and feel of books. They have a great book selection, and if they don't have a book you're looking for, they will order it for you!”
“The Daughters of St. Paul are a wonderful, welcoming, and devout community of women devoted to spreading the Good News through their shop. Got the Bible and card that I needed for a Confirmation gift. Always to visit the sisters and the store.”
“If you are looking for popular Christian books, you should be able to find some here. It is a church bookstore, not a full-fledged bookstore, so you won't find thousands of titles. Prices are decent and there are always reduced priced books available.”
“A smallish, carefully curated bookstore! A place to browse and discovery wonderful books. A perfect selection of children's books, local interest and nature-lover's titles. I found two books I'd never heard of, and could scarcely walk across the street to me car without starting to read! (There's a large, free, public parking lot in back, btw). What a great find in (downtown?) Webster Groves!!”
“Excellent publisher for trustworthy confessional Lutheran resources! Great customer service to your satisfaction. Enjoy the NQP options along with new releases for both lay and professional users.”

“Great place for good conversation and great reading material. This place is a much needed jewel in the city of Saint Louis. I go shop with them as much as possible. I love this place and the staff!!”

“Highly recommend Big Coloring Books! I have used them multiple times for customized coloring books to giveaway at sponsored events. They have an excellent selection of books and are open to helping you put a new design together to better fit your needs. We use these to give away at our company sponsored events (with our logo and contact information) and it's always a hit with kids and adults alike!”
“I have to give kudos to the staff at the Webster campus store. I had an issue with my online order, and I called the actual store to resolve the matter. The staff member was amiable and pleasant to speak to and solved the matter over the phone with no problem. Once again, thank you so much. Also, it was effortless to place an order on the internet. Great shopping experience!”
“The MBU bookstore has everything you need for class. Stop by and take a look at the great selection of merchandise and get the required essentials for class and studying.”
“Great resource for SLU supplies! If you like goodies..... Stop in here for a treat. Parking is a little concerning if you aren't familiar with the area. After a quick call to the store, I was able to locate a space.”
“Such a beautiful campus. My son is attending college prep classes here and their staff are just incredible. I hope he decides to study here after college. The university campus book shop is filled with every essential thing they could need being away from home and then some! The track and field are just gorgeous. The cafeteria is just beyond amazing!”
“I loved this bookstore! It has an amazing collection of anything and everything you need, very well organized. It's a really cool place where you can easily spend hours browsing. I also appreciated that there is parking across the road, making it very convenient to find and access. I definitely recommend a visit!”
