“Found all book that we were looking for. Excellent selection. Even found a toy for the grandson. Some of the staff very nice and friendly. One staff member not very friendly or helpful but I found one that was. Overall very nice place.”
“This place is a gem! SO MUCH COOL STUFF!!! I'm sorry to say I only went there recently, but the owners are great and this is a wonderful place that we should support. Check it out!!”
“Excellent selection of all types of print material as well as gifts for all ages. Has a cafe within. A great place to browse and find new treasures. One of the last places of its kind.”
“Wonderful bookstore. I also have to note that this is the most reliable shop I’m aware of in Milwaukee for quality greeting cards. As a man, it’s incredibly difficult to find stationery that is gender-neutral, let alone content that isn’t just generally corny. Highly recommend.”
“I have bought a few trains, rolling stock and accessories from here. This is a really great place and great people i love coming here, also Tom and his coworker are extremely helpful and good people!”
“Every time I visit Bayshore I stop in Barnes & Noble. I love the calm atmosphere and seeing what new books are in stock. The employees are always helpful and friendly!”
“The place is a refuge for readers. The prices are great and they have albums CDs and hard to find books I'd definitely go back again & again and would highly recommend”
“The best selection of romance books in Wisconsin! Diverse, unique, but still the popular books too! And so many indie gems other stores don’t stock! Plus the owner is so fun to chat with, it’s clear she loves books and readers!!”
“Fun store, nice and cozy like a book store should be. I got lost several times looking for specific books but wandering wasn't all too bad as I found hidden gems I would have otherwise never seen. Books are guaranteed to be in good condition, I've never gotten a book with a missing page or large tear.”
“A used bookstore in an airport? This is the first one I have ever seen. The best place to pass the time for hours if you are waiting for a flight. If I had one small criticism, it would be the prices. But this is a treasure you won't find in any other airport.”
“This shop is so cozy and awesome!! I've only been a couple times so far, but there are some very good finds (obsessed and super hyped about a soup cook book i got there and next time i hope i have more time to go through the science and nature sections). Two awesome cats will bless your presence as well ♡♡ Mr.Sanders seems a little more social, and Bustopher Jones is also a very cool guy. Downstairs is a cozy area with a lot more books and some chairs. They also have very cool vintage postcards by the entrance! I'm sure I'll keep noticing more really cool stuff here”
“I live in another state and always receive my books in a timely manner. Always ?% satisfied with my purchases!! Great Customer Service with much kindness from the workers”

“An absolute gem of a shop, with seemingly the most random combination of interests. Love visiting this store with my aunt--I, an avid collector of coins, and her, a devoted quilter.
I have also seen the owners at a couple of coin shows in Wisconsin and Illinois, and they always have a nice selection and are just as eager to help as they are in the store.”
“This is such a great bookstore! It is a small boutique shop but the selection is great! Unique children and young adult books focusing on Black, Indigenous, People of Color. Quote from the website says a lot. "It is critical that urban youth both see themselves in the pages of books and read varied narratives of what it means to be a black, or brown protagonist."”
“My toddler and I stopped by this book store and could’ve spent all afternoon there! The environment is so cozy, there is a wonderful selection of children’s books (in several languages!), and the owner was incredibly kind. We will definitely be back!”
“Unbelievable. A must see. DIY, poetry, small press/ micro press, lit loving HEAVEN. Go for the books, stay for the art gallery or an event, if you’re lucky. Every community deserves such a valuable resource.”
“A very wide selection I'm happy to know that this is one of the great places out there for these types of resources .Also there's a bonus....thrift store at the same location.”
“A perfect little bookstore. Very helpful and friendly staff, and they display their books in an unusually helpful way; I never leave without buying at least three books (often more!) because they put excellent books in prominent display. This store is truly a gem;Tosa is so lucky to have it. When I come to Milwaukee this place is a mandatory stop.”
“Gets the job done for a college bookstore. You can order online, which I would recommend. Lines can be very, very long at the beginning of the semester. Has what you need, but lacks options.”
“This store is one of our long-time customers and they are wonderful Godly people. They have gone through a terrible personal tragedy. If they could open the doors and answer the phone they would so please show some grace and keep them in your prayers. God bless.”
“All college books are pricey. This bookstore is convenient, has a variety of items and I particularly like the panther gear. Much nicer bookstore compared to MATC where books are not available at all. At least at UWM they order enough books according to class size. The books at other tech colleges are even higher, sometimes more than the class.”
“A wonderful surprise. The shelves are well curated with a nice selection of literary fiction. Whereas most mall bookstores traditionally sell generic bestsellers, this is a genuine used bookstore with a deep selection. I often go to this mall just for this bookstore. They have another location at Mitchell Airport that is even larger.”
“Seamus Is amazing he knew where my book was with a easy return process at end of semester. If I could I would live in the back of Ecampus because seamus is cool.”
“I love working with this bookstore as both an author and a reader. It's such a welcoming space from the ambiance, the staff, and the owner. The selection of books is impressive, the events are stellar, and the feeling of community is inspirational. I very highly recommend this store to readers and authors alike.”
