absolute best bookshop in Lincoln! super friendly owner, extremely well-rounded stock with new surprises, and extra reasonable pricing! —signed, a professional writer who can't stop buying books and needs a sixth bookshelf soon
I never knew this bookstore was in Lincoln until the bookstore crawl this year and it was a fun discovery! The owner is so kind and helpful and we found some good books when we visited ☺️
My nephew told me to check out this book store and glad he did! Found some used books for fair price and in good condition. My son enjoyed checking out the fantasy section and picked up something on our first visit. Friendly and helpful if you need help with suggestions otherwise check out the store when in need of a new book to read.
Finally had the chance to stop in here today and WOW! I love used books/bookstores, but I’ve had a hard time finding one in Lincoln that fit the vibe I was looking for. The bookshelves are overflowing with a collection of well-curated materials. Although it may seem chaotic at first glance, everything is pretty well-organized! Genres are kept together making things easier to find (and I love the cook books in the kitchen cabinets—brilliant). It was fun to browse among familiar books and stumble upon books I’ve had on my to-read list for ages. The prices are incredibly reasonable, and I found myself with an armload of books within 10 minutes! The owner greeted us with a warm welcome, and upon seeing my partner and I in masks, he asked if we’d like for him to wear one as well. As a chronically ill individual, that level of kindness and care is truly so special. I love knowing I can go here and be treated with respect. He was fun to chat with and seemed incredibly knowledgeable about the books in his collection. It’s always a pleasure to chat with a fellow book-lover. I love buying used books. It’s affordable, sustainable, and a wonderful way to build community. Grateful for this little spot tucked in the heart of lincoln. A grand hidden gem!
