I popped into Love & Other Books last week after having breakfast in the neighborhood. It's a small…read morebut very charming and (for the size) very well-stocked romance bookstore. Similar to other romance or genre-specific bookstores I've visited in the past few years, Love & Other Books actually has a great range of books - all the sub-genres are covered! They all sell lots of great merchandise (hats, shirts, cards, etc.), too, so it's a great place for shopping for gifts as well as books. The customer service was also very friendly and helpful. I found a couple of books that I look forward to reading! It's a charming little bookshop, worth checking out even if you don't think a romance bookstore is your thing!

It's well lit, and they offer a variety of books and other merchandise. They were not as welcoming as the other bookstores. I almost felt as if we were being tolerated.

They also have crafted items from artistians from around Michigan. It seems to think that most visitors have much in common with art museum types not families visiting a family history attraction which it is. While the service is still top notch, not every thing as clear prices posted or not enough lower price items to give families with children a keepsake to remember a maybe once in a lifetime visit. I have started to wait until membership weekends to get anything because of the higher membership discount.

Went here today on a high school field trip. I walked in with my group, five girls and another…read moregroup who also had a chaperone of about six boys. All 9th grade kids. The kids were excited. They were trying on the sombreros, looking at the dresses, searapes and other various items. Were they loud? 100%. Were they being goofy? 100%. Were they rude, disrespectful or out of control? No. not at all. Never once did anyone from the store greet us, or say one word to us for that matter. After about 10 minutes a woman approached me, who I later found out was the owner, and told me that our time was up and we needed to leave "now". Obviously I was taken aback. She told me that the kids were being obnoxious and they picked up a pricing gun and were playing with it. I asked her if she had spoken to them. She had not. I asked if she talked to them upon arrival telling them to be careful and she said " I shouldn't have to". Now if this was my store, and I saw a school group coming in I might want to stop them at the door and remind them of my expectations on how to behave, what not to touch. perhaps I might only allow so many kids in at a time, etc. But this woman literally said nothing to us. She met us with a cold stare, ready to find fault. She said, these kids obviously have no intention to buy anything so they need to go "now" Which is strange because I didn't realize that's how stores worked. I thought we were allowed to browse whether or not we were purchasing. However, these kids did intend to buy but after her obnoxious behavior they ran out the door. She quickly followed them and as she got into her car she yelled at them "BYE AND NEVER COME BACK". The employee who was left in the store was super kind and explained to me that the woman was the owner and she gets very upset with school groups. Which Is wild to me because I can't imagine many people are coming down on a random Wednesday afternoon buying overpriced items that can be purchased elsewhere for much less. I'm planning a quinceanera for my daughter in September and we were looking for items to buy but I'm glad to know how this owner operates and we will no longer be visiting the store. Her actions were unreasonable, unprofessional and downright rude. So, no worries, store owner lady. We will definitely "never come back" and we will make sure all our friends know to do the same. * Was brought to my attention after the store owner left that in fact a small item had been broken. Which I paid for without question. Because that's how things work. Conversations are helpful (when they actually happen) and people respond well to reason and kindness

The service was amazing as they hand you a map upon entry and there is always someone around to help. And not to mention the books are reasonably priced.

Not gonna lie I was starting to get overwhelmed, and it is pretty dusty in there. It's super stuffed with so many books and other physical media. I appreciate that they have a classics section on the first floor to easily look for the most popular books, and I found one book to buy. I love that they are truly dedicated to used and rare books. There's so much to discover here. They also have some postcards and vintage valentine cards at the front, which I looked through and found one I liked. The prices are great too, and they also have a few free books near the entrance.

Their Cards are too expensive and I can barely find any Mahogany theme cards. It's so hard to find a card with great inspirational reading inside.

You find the same thing for less and cheaper at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS and rite aide drugstores.

It's a little bit off the beaten path in the Eastern Market neighborhood, which, to me, adds to its artistic charm. I was happy to spend a little bit of time perusing the rest of the gallery and the staff was very kind and informative. There is a small parking lot just outside the entrance and street parking available on Russell as well. Heads up: if you use an Apple GPS to get there, it'll direct you to the back of the building, so you'll need to be one block over! Anyway, I loved my experience and I can't wait to see what other kind of exhibits rotate through here.
