Jay and Mary’s Bookcenter is a lovely, community-based independent bookstore. Customers describe it as a great spot with a very cute atmosphere, offering coffee for sale. It provides awesome value and a good selection of books, including modern favorites, arranged nicely. Many have been visiting since childhood and buy all their books and gifts there. The staff is generally noted as super kind, helpful, and caring, often going above and beyond. For most, it is a place where families feel comfortable, and employees are diligent in helping find specific books. While there was a mention that a couple of employees could show more awareness, the overall experience is consistently positive. It is a place worth checking out if you are in town, recommended for anyone looking for a great read.
Great store! Love that Winans is attached to it. Amazing selection and friendly employees.

Thank you Riley for helping me get my order shipped out! You went above and beyond to make sure I was able to get taken care of and I really appreciate it. Had a great experience with this book center and will not hesitate to come back for future John Scalzi Books.
