One of my favorite independent bookstores in St. Louis. Left Bank Books has a great selection, fantastic staff, a cozy space for browsing, and spotting the shop cat (hi Orleans!) is always a bonus. Left Bank Books is also incredibly supportive of writers and the local literary community. I did a reading here years ago for my poetry collection and they handled everything beautifully, from setup to social media promotion to making sure the books were fully stocked. I love this place as both a reader and a writer. A wonderful bookstore to support
Great local gem. Staff was very helpful. The space was cozy and clean. Large selection of books.
I love this place! They have a great collection of local St. Louis books as well as new and popular books. Downstairs has a good-sized area of used books for sale. I have yet to see Orleans the cat but I am hopeful! I love the events they have and the authors they book for signings. Everyone has always been kind and helpful. Support local!!!
Eclectic bookstore on Euclid avenue. There are two levels of books as well as interesting cards and bags. The displays are well organized and engaging. This is well worth a long browse.
I absolutely loved the reviews around the store. Left with 5 books and a ton more suggestions. The staff was friendly but mostly left me to myself to browse, which I appreciated.
