Wonderful experience with a cozy layout and comfy chairs. Two of the furrier staff members will even guide you as you look for books and read with you. Top notch customer service.
Always a great place to come, especially if you’re looking for classic lit. I would recommend coming in with no “list” and hoping something calls to you. It usually does. Also the shop has two cats, of which I have included several pictures. They are darling.
Only wish I could rate it higher! Staff were helpful, lead me to the basement science section. The on staff cats are quick to judge your book selection, no doubt there to ensure you don't leave empty handed. Very very nice selection of books on Wisconsin. They have a number of rare history books, art and architecture. I picked up a MSOE art history book for $18 which is potentially the best bang for the buck I've ever gotten. I've been to just about every used book store in Minnesota and Wisconsin, this is a good one! And the long haired cat let me hold him like a baby, 12/10 would recommend.
WOW! This book store is sooooooooo cool! The owner is a wonderful young man who is extremely knowledgeable and passionate on books. This shop has the best form of advertising, CATS! We came in to pet the softest cat known to man. We left with great memories, great books, and a smile on our faces. 10/10.
Cool little book shop in a great area! Nice staff, even some friend Cats keeping guard of the shop. Great selection of books with an even better ambience and aesthetic of the store! Awesome art as well! Would recommend checking out in the area
