Great little used book store! Love the Stephen King bathroom as well as the other Easter eggs throughout the store. Very much worth the parking obstacles.

The owner told me to go to his competition to by a book about Westfield because they are to expensive to stock.. Okay I did and spent my money across the street.....

You dont know what youll find in this charming little shop until you actually take the time to stop and look! I love to support my local small business and I stopped in just to see what they might have. The owner was quite helpful and I left the store with two titles that will make wonderful gifts for my book loving mom, both about Emily Dickinson. I might not have even thought to search for something like this had I not stopped into this unique little store!

I took one of my best friends here because I know how much she loves to read, and it was an absolutely delightful experience.There is no word that would better describe this little book store than quaint, its old fashioned and welcoming nature feeling like a relic of a bygone age. The owner was exceedingly nice and talkative, and went above and beyond to help us find the book we were looking for, despite the shop still having unsorted boxes to look through. On top of this, every book in the store is buy one get one free as of writing this, making it far and away the most financially responsible way to round out a personal library.The decorations and music playing through the small shop really heightened tbe experiences, as there was a large paper snake spinning in the center while Mr. Sandman played, making it far more fun than expected to quietly browse for Jane Austen.In other words, its an incredibly enjoyable little book store, and Id love to go again when Im in the area.

I found some novels I’ve been looking for forever! A great selection including some weird books I have at home but have never seen anywhere else, so it felt very cozy to be there. I will be going back for sure.

Wonderful book store! Russell is a sweetheart and incredibly knowledgeable. Huge used book choices and super cheap! I love that he sells local artisan goods as well. Everytime I go in there for ONE book I never walk out with less than six. He also has a large number of kids books which is fantastic because my goddaughter, like me, is a big reader. Please support this Westfield gem!!

We stopped in this unique used bookstore after seeing on tv that it was in need of funds to stay in business. I must admit I had been by lots of times but saw no parking during the week. (I have learned that theres parking in the back!). As this was Sunday..plenty of on-street parking available. The store was small but I found 4 childrens books in the childrens section in back. Its worth a visit, lots of treasures and finds. Very reasonably priced!

Incredibly nice and helpful staff, fun place to search for hidden gems or popular reads. Prices are reasonable--you can walk out with several books and not break the bank. Their events are well-organized, informative, and fun. Westfield is lucky to have this business.

What a gem! A great selection of new & used books, friendly and helpful staff that love talking about books, book discussion groups and author events. If they dont have it, theyll order it for you. Their window displays are often changing and always amazing. Put some time aside to stop by and browse!

Review №25

My favorite thing about this bookstore are the recommendations. I fear the book that fails to tell a good story, and then I take forEVER to start a new one, at which time I usually amass a small car payment in library overdue fees. I take comfort that not only will I enjoy the selection I walk out with, but also that nobody will mind the spot of red wine on the cover. ;)

A much-needed addition to Westfield, what kind of small city doesnt have one decent bookstore? Small but smartly curated, the owner Jessica is active in giving this town a cultural infusion. Please support this piece of ourselves, shop & attend events.

This store is amazing!! Not only does she sell new books but she has a fantastic array of used books. I went there one Sunday and she no longer had any hard copies of the Fireman by Joe Hill because the paperback was coming in 2 weeks. She went on-line and ordered it for me and she called on Tuesday because she had already received it. Im a huge Stephen King fan so her bathroom is a must see! Thanks so much for bringing books back to Westfield!
