The best bookstore around. The staff are always so friendly and helpful and are always willing to discuss a book with me. Large array of books as well as many events to take part in. Love that they are partnered with The Lemon Tree. I enjoy having lunch and reading my book, and then shopping for a new book.

We decided to randomly stop by Page 158 books on our way through on a family vacation. My family and I are big readers but we've never had such a good time in a bookstore! The decorations were beautiful. They had every genre of book you can think of. Everyone in my family found multiple books we wanted. And the staff was amazingly nice and sweet. They were so easy to talk to. My kids said Page 158 Books will be their favorite bookstore from now on! Absolutely love them and the store!

We stopped at Page 158 after a failed vacation and it completely changed the tone of a gloomy trip back home. The energy from the staff, the cozy atmosphere, and the thoughtful touches, like post-it notes on favorite books, made us feel so welcome. We even had the chance to chat with Sue, who was so kind and personable. What could’ve been just a long, heavy drive back turned into a bright memory. If you’re anywhere nearby (or even close enough for a detour), stop in, you won’t regret it!

A haven and a home away from home, I love this bookstore. The people who work here are the best, their recommendations rule, there’s something for everyone. I cannot say enough good things about Page 158. Anytime we need a gift, for ourselves or someone else, this is where we go.

It’s easily one of our favorite places. I recommend it constantly to anyone that will listen (for multiple purposes, not just fantastic books). I can’t believe I haven’t left a review previously. The atmosphere and decor are welcoming and clever. The staff make this place what it is though. I love everyone I meet here. Recently, we’ve seem to time our visits with Galen and Tyler’s shifts. I cannot say enough about them both. Engaging personalities and they really know their stuff. We’ve spent a small fortune trying to hoard all their recommendations. We love Page 158 for all they are and we’re so grateful to have such a fantastic shopping opportunity with versatile engagement in our community.
