First time at Book People. I went to a local author book launch and loved the store and atmosphere. Everyone was so kind and helpful. I will definitely be back!

The Gleneagles location is not as cozy and funky as the old Book People on Granite. On the other hand, the shop is a lot better organized,larger, and neater. There are still a mix of old and new titles and the staff continue the tradition of high touch service. The shelves are tidy and organized by genre. Staff are very helpful and knowledgeable and will help get you in touch with the exact book that you want. Do not hesitate to ask them to order what they don't have in the store. Particularly impressive is the extensive event programming, bringing in a variety of authors, critics, and commentators for lively discussions. The store is a strong advocate for the right to read and is protective of the wide variety of people in our community. I just wish they had relocated closer to the original shop to make it easier for me to visit more frequently.

Best bookstore ever. Locally owned? Yea! Up to date on new releases? Heck yea! If they don’t have it? They’ll order it for you! Easy. They’re some of the coolest people and they’re always willing to help or just chat.
