Very fitting name since all the owner does is throw shade and drive her customers and employees away.

Well-curated bookshop. Especially impressed with the local, indigenous and children's sections. Highly recommend

The people working couldn't care less about helping people. They stood in front talking to a friend about where to go to eat. I asked them three times about where to look for a certain book. All they had to do is look up the category. Will not shop there again.

Love to visit here and look around. They have a large segment of the store dedicated to Wisconsin and the Northwoods..local area books and authors highlighted. I also enjoy the section on birds, mammals, flowers, fish, mushrooms, etc. They have a significant number of journals, lots of puzzles, local maps, etc. I can spend some time here just looking around but I usually leave with something in hand.

The owner of this bookstore clearly doesn't like people. She has a nicely curated children's section, but don't try to bring a child in, because she'll make rude, unhelpful commen to q ts as you try your best to both wrangle a curious child through her "untouchable" shelves, and peruse those same shelves. It's a real shame, because a local bookstore is a treasure, if only it could be welcoming and reasonable. So disappointing.

They have books. None i was hoping to find. Its overwhelming if you have a gift certificate but no clue what to get. Perhaps a list of popular titles or authors would be helpful. Or a bulletin board of book suggestions from other patrons.

It shocks me this store remains open. Her signs that she has/had posted on her store front for various reasons are incredibly rude and she is not helpful at all. I am often confused why she owns a retail store with her kind of personality. We visited this past week and she again was rude. There was a young gal that apologized for not having something we asked for- this gal was too friendly to work there compared to the owner.

Owner was friendly and very welcoming. Picked up some books for our cabin collection. There was a wide variety and vast selection of books to choose from! I'll shop here when I come up north from now on. Highly Recommend!

This store was the highlight of my day when I would visit minocqua multiple times a year. I regret ever supporting this store they completely blew me off when I had asked if they would consider being more allergy friendly. I had just asked if they could consider not having a candle lit. I never said to "stop selling candles." Which the owner tried to imply I said. I have gone to this store since it had opened and would buy 10+ books a visit. I haven't been able to even browse for books the past two years because of a candle being lit. Scents can throw me into a anaphylaxis which is a life threatening condition. As a book lover thank you for ruining my experience in your store.

I love to patronize local businesses, especially ones that carry books that compliment the north woods but consistent with other reviews, the staff is just downright rude. Both people working made no effort to hide their annoyance at patrons, whether checking out or browsing. But, from years worth of reviews calling out the rude staff makes it clear that it wasn’t a one off. It was enough to make me leave a review and say good riddance.

Adorable bookshop in Minocqua. Excellent selection of Children's & Young Adult titles, as well as speciality magazines and darling paper products (notecards, postcards, etc.) Lovely store with the delightful aroma of fresh books. Left the shop with a few new fiction selections, an aviation magazine, a satisfied 16 year-old son and a very happy 10 year-old daughter. Young lady manning the register was welcoming and helpful even though we arrived just 15 minutes before closing time. Worth the stop - we'll definitely be back.

While there’s a huge selection of books, the employees are anything but friendly
