Home away from home. Each of the employees talks, eats, and laughs like a big family. Eclectic collection of books and tomes, which takes a while to shift through the masses to find. Be prepared to spend 2 hours or more!

Amazing bookstore, incredible owners, spectacular customer service. 10/10 experience and would absolutely recommend checking this place out if you are at all a fan of books. They had such a wide collection including "Gentleman prefer blondes" which if you know you know how hard that book is to find.

I walked into this bookstore for the first time in 1989. Not much has changed since then. One can find rare gems as long as one can commit to spending time to throughly browse. I hope this place stays the way it is for another 50 years.

Cute store, a bit cramped. Love the homey feel and the random items taped onto ends of bookshelves.

This is a cool used book store. Like many used book stores, high shelves places close together. Someone had visited one of my favorite breweries, Dragonmeade in Michigan, and tacked one of their coasters on the wall.

Neat store but I've found the staff to be quite rude/unfriendly everytime I go here

Paul’s Book Store is a hidden gem in the heart of downtown Madison. It’s filled with hard to find, out of print editions you’ll love to discover.
