What a sweet little locally owned bookstore! Lots of current book selections, childrens section and a selection of gifts and cards as well. Will definitely be back!
I didnt buy that day but there were so many interesting books. Its so nice to be able to browse in a real book store again.
A fantastic local book store with a knowledgeable staff.
The employees are terrific and I adore this place!
Great local bookstore. I love their staff picks.
Found the book I wanted
Wellesley Books is a local treasure. In the age of anonymity and online shopping, this offer us a place to feel well chosen books and to sample them. It feels great to support a local bookseller of such high-quality.
Fun place to go and get books for all ages. You can even bring your dog
Great local bookstore. Lovely folks who let you browse and shop with patience.
Have come here for years. Try to support local book shop. Came back twice today because of lines so I was actually trying to support. They are requiring far stricter limits In their store than the Already strict state limits. Treat you like you are a walking Petri dish. Just too much fear mongering. No joy. Another reluctant amazon customer.
Beautiful independent bookstore. Helpful staff.
An old fashioned bookstore where one can browse books in a comfortable setting and ask advice from personnel who really know about books and love them. There are cards posting the book recommendations of several different store personnel. The store is located in nice, walkable downtown Wellesley with its myriad of unique shops and restaurants.
Nice cozy book store.
I love this bookstore. I live in Concord but I will drive over to Wellesley Books because they have unique book signings and unique merchandise you wont find anywhere else. Their Customer Service is the best. I was once looking for a specific coin bank for my son and the buyer personally went looking through their store for it but could not find it even though their system said they had 4. She promptly called me when she found it and I was able to secure this very unique item. I always find unique items for presents that I could not find anywhere else. I highly recommend this store.
An absolute gem of a book store. Tons of great random little gifts, easy and abundant parking, and helpful staff. I always enjoy visiting the Wellesley Book Store.
Wonderful bookstore for my mother to bring her 12 grandchildren and buy each one a book (2x a year for the last 20 years or so ....)
Definitely my favorite bookstore in Metro West. A great selection and a fantastic group of people. I definitely trust their advice.
Free parking in back, lovely benches out front to sit on & people watch. *Very* knowledgeable staff always willing to help pick out just the right book(s). This is a must stop before any trip to pick up reading supplies, not just _any_ but, again, the *right* ones (no disappointments trapped on a long flight!) Plus, on principal, support a great local bookstore.
Anywhere my little furry friends are welcomed is good with me. I like being able to take my small well behaved dogs into a store and they are welcomed. When I lived in Wellesley for a short time I could actually walk to this store from my home. I enjoyed going here and browsing the complete selections they had. I enjoy how this locally owned store treated its customers and showed them by their welcoming manner.Often I would purchase new book and when done I could trade in those for resale in the used book part for credit. I know people can do this online but there is something so satisfying as going into a store and actually holding the book in your hands. Flipping through the pages, reading snippets throughout to decide if it is interesting or not. Some if this is lost just clicking through pictures of books on a screen.
Friendly cashier greeted as I entered with a parent/ childrens reading area. Spacious area to browse diversive quality of books
Friendly staff and an excellent selection of books and gifts. Really a gem and a great example of why towns still need local bookstores.
Nice people. Lovely local bookstore.
Friendly staff and a great selection. A great place to spend an afternoon.
A real book store with great staff.
Helpful and engaging staff
One of the best places in Wellesley!!! Love to come in for a browse
Wonderful selection of books and highly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff!
Great selection of books, helpful staff. Room downstairs for author presentations.
Love this bookstore. Not just great books supporting a local business, but also great gifts and trinkets.
I love supporting our local small businesses, especially this bookstore. All the staff are super knowledgeable, and can help pick out the perfect book!
Wonderful place, very relaxing where you can find what you looking for...
Very nice people very knowledgeable and very helpful
Cute little store, but such rude service.
Wellesley Books is an awesome store with a great atmosphere. I love going in there to browse, and the used books and classics are a great deal.
Lovely bookstore. Easy parking. Friendly.
Great selection and warm, inviting space. Helpful staff that will order what you are looking for.
Great local bookstore. Helpful and knowledgeable staff.
A bookstore with a solid collection of books from an array of subjects.
Nice neighborhood bookstore.
I love this book shop. I have weird taste in books, often seeking out books that are not currently on the best-seller lists, but that have some je ne sais quois that makes them stick in the readers mind. I find that the staff-curated shelf of staff picks books always has something that Im intrigued enough by to splurge on.The staff is helpful and there are a lot of cute gift options and kids books. I would park in the back lot, as this area of Wellesley is busy and on-street parking can be hard to find. Good place to stop into when you want to buy a little something for yourself, (but not a frappucino or pedicure.)
I love this bookstore. Its great. The people that work here are super helpful. They offer great advice on books and will order anything that do not have in stock. They wrap your gifts.They surprisingly have a great card selection. Sometimes better than Paper Source. They also have some great small gift ideas, interesting games and stationery. They have a wonderful childrens section in the back of the store and a used book area in the basement.I am always amazed at the great authors they bring into the store. They are the perfect local booksmith, a real part of the community.I gave it four stars because the book selection in comparison to Brookline Booksmith is a little weak. Check out both!
Great bookstore!
Pretty cool for bibliophiles.
Fifth star if theyd add a second shelf of scifi. Otherwise cant miss local bookstore.
Great
