Disappointed in the selling process. The staff member who was the one making the decisions basically only communicated through another staff member even through we were all standing together. Staff were very dismissive and rude. Store selection isn't bad, but it isn't great. I definitely won't be back.

Wonderful bookstore- lots of options! Could easily spend an afternoon here checking out different sections. I enjoyed the yearbook section - there’s quite a few older yearbooks from 1930-1980 that are fun to look through. This place is a hidden gem, and definitely one to stop at! Books are reasonably priced - I spent $16 on two books.

Amazing, love the floor to ceiling books, and the moving ladder. Don't forget to say hi to the cat. Also there is so many old books. I was like a kid in a candy store. A huge basement as well.

Fantastic book store and one of the most charming places in Fort Wayne! It may look small from the outside but do not let that fool you. They offer a vast variety of books and have exceptional customer service. Plus with two precious feline friends to accompany you while you search for your next read, what’s not to love about Hyde Bros?! We are lucky to have this gem in our city.
