“Not sure how I came across this business, but I’m so thankful I did. We purchased the subscription for our newborn and receive two books every month — many written by Black authors, which I absolutely love. I would highly recommend this subscription to anyone with a newborn or toddler!”

“Small bookstores like these give me so much faith and hope for the community and the children in it. The staff is very kind and there is something, whether that be a book, toy, or office supply, for everyone. I bought a comic collection book, and I’ve yet to try their coffee and treats. Shop here instead of giving your money to Amazon!”

“Better than it needs to be, especially for a mall store. Had some questions about vinyl players and Aaron was very patient, helpful, and informative. He helped me go through all of the options, did not make me feel bad or rushed at all about going through them, despite me bugging him when he was clearly very busy. Because of this we found out there was actually a model I wanted much more offered online. He took me through the ordering process of this in a smooth and efficient manner, leaving me with zero questions, and Broden at the counter during checkout was able to help me decide on a premium membership, and was also very patient with me as well. Great staff and fantastic selection. Always been my favorite Barnes & Noble in the area.”

“I would give this store a higher rating but in addition to ordering a book and picking up (which was a 5 of 5) I also brought in a silver age comic that elsewhere offered me $20 dollars ( Google priced it at a low of $25 or higher) and this store offered me a whopping $1.25. Really!!? That offer was offensive especially because they had similar silver age comics displayed in their case starting at $80. Still because of they are primarily a book store I'll give them a 4.”

“My husband and I stopped into Pauline Books and Media last week while in St. Louis. The woman and the religious sister there were so kind and helpful. I had to replace my very old and worn prayer book, and they had the exact updated version. And I found two excellent children's books as gifts. We made a visit into the Adoration Chapel as well, which was a wonderful surprise to see. I can't wait to return next time we are in the city.”

It feels like a magical bookstore from a movie: eclectic, with many unexpected nooks and crannies filled with books to explore. A delightful place to browse!”

“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.”

“It’s off the beaten track, but well worth finding! A real Christian bookstore—something that has disappeared in this age of Amazon and CBD. You can go in, get information, hold Bibles and books in your hand to evaluate them. Just like the good old days. Friendly and encouraging. Go see it! By the way, you can order a book or Christian resource without having to pay shipping (at least if it comes from one of their suppliers, I assume). No ‘Minimum $50 orders” from Christian Book Distributors, for instance.”

“This place is a true gem, I wish there were stores like this. I spent a couple hours here looking at all the older books. Everything is grouped together really well with sections labeled clearly. It is tight in some spaces but that just means it's packed to the brim with goodness! They really have an excellent selection here and I especially loved looking at the antique books. The two gentlemen that worked here were very kind and helpful and I enjoyed chatting with them very much. If you're ever in the St. Louis area and you love books and/or bookstores, this is a must-see! I would give 10 stars if I could ☺”

“I just want to give a shout-out to Pat from the bookstore. My daughter had her signing day, and we did not have apparel for her big day. I called to see if it would be possible for us to order shirts and have them before her signing day. He told me yes and said to order online, and he would be on the lookout for the order. He not only received the order but followed up with an email saying it was shipped as we paid for next day shipping. I'm pleased to say we had the shirts in time for her signing day. Makes me even happier with my daughter's decision to play basketball at Webster University!!”

“I visited several times in the Fall 2025 semester as I was helping my daughter settle into Uni and on dorm. The merchandise is nice but overpriced I think and not all the Tshirts are good quality. Some are pretty thin. Management needs to remember the items are for students/parents/family primarily who are already spending tons on tuition and expenses. I bought a a magnet for the fridge and beneath the price was another tag with a much lower price. Not cool to do this, it's exploitery. Generally clean and the staff is helpful.”
