Good to visit every once in a while to see if they have new stock. Quiet and friendly.

This bookstore feels like a bit of an adventure. You walk in and you see, well, books. You keep walking and then you discover a room of books, then another room of books, and then another, and another, while feeling like you've died and gone to heaven. The books are all in great condition, and surprisingly and pleasantly priced lower than other used book stores.

Really enjoyed the experience in Bluestem! The staff were kind and friendly, Marabelle was so sweet. This store is more used and older books, so if you're looking for a specific newer book, may not be the best place. However, there was plenty to choose from in every genre.

I'm convinced there is a book here for everyone. There were so many rooms and walls filled with books. It had that wonderful old paper smell and there was an adorable, friendly puppy dog. The staff were very nice and fun to talk to. I will definitely be coming back!!
