“This was such a sweet find. Today is Independent Bookstore Day and we were in Austin and decided to check out Birdhouse Books. We absolutely loved our time there. My kids and I spent a considerable amount of time in the children’s section. I particularly appreciate the book categories they have, from graphic books to books about inclusivity. There is a limited selection of parenting books, which was surprising to me. I half expected a wider range of parenting books considering the selection of children’s books they had. And the parenting books were shelved right at the back of the store instead of being closer to the children’s section, which I thought was an odd choice. I also particularly appreciate that they have banned books here, and book recommendations.

When we went there today, it looks like there was an event going on and from their calendar in the store, it seems that they hosted events every now and then, which is great.

Staff are incredibly helpful and welcoming. We plan to come back again.

Parking was easy and when you have kids, that is an important factor to consider.

And tip: When you are done here, walk to the Japanese grocery store in the same block and get yourself some delicious snack.”

“They have a wonderful selection, though, with the sheer amount of series they have, there will always be some volumes out of stock or missing, since it is always extremely crowded. Sadly, this location, unlike others doesn't take cash”

Resale on books and such is a thin margin but some how this company still provides free Healthcare for managers.

It means the world to me that there’s a REAL BOOKSTORE I can walk in to, talk to a REAL HUMAN and walk out with what I need even when it’s hard to find!

“Love, love, love this place!! I needed to find several copies of a book for my classroom and was able to find 4 for a very good price. Plus got some good deals on some dvds and book series I been looking for. I love that fact that I could look online to see if they had when I was looking for. The staff was very friendly. They had a large variety of books, dvds, games, videos games, music and even collectibles. You can bring in your old books and pick up something new for yourself. All the books were in good condition. It was a little bit of a drive to get to for me but well worth it.”

We’re grateful to have such a great bookstore nearby!”

“Went in a few months back on the prowl for some Beetroopers cards for my friend's deck. The guy at the register was super nice and helped us dig through the different bulk boxes it could be in. He even tried to open some of their packs to see if they could pull it since it was a common. Highly recommend them!”

“It’s a pricier used bookshop and we didn’t end up buying anything, but it’s definitely at least worth a browse, and the rare copies are impressive. Plus, they were super nice.”

“Real books, lots of them! A great variety of magazines, too! I read ebooks regularly, but never want to give up the pleasure of an actual printed book to own and hold. Barnes and Noble has an excellent variety of books to choose from, a cafe to sit an drink coffee while you sample possible books to buy and helpful staff to find or order just what you need.”

“As the best and biggest independent bookstore in Austin, it’s no surprise that they have a small location in the airport. This is right inside security and is very convenient. Besides books, they sell some snacks and drinks, T-shirts, small gifts, and cards. It’s a small sample of the books. They have in their main store, but they’re curated for titles that would be easy reading our plane.”

The Half Price Books near Parmer and Mopac is a nice store and the staff is friendly.”
