As usual, I found an outstanding selection of amazing books at great prices. Where else can you find beautiful hardcover books on the fall of Constantinople, Napoleon, and Led Zeppelin, accompanied by peaceful music, courteous staff, and a beautiful day? It's a pleasure shopping at this place. Kudos.

They took my daughter every step of the way to guide her with making a wedding dress. She had weekly remote classes with Rebecca and Christina for several months. I cannot say enough about their professionalism, knowledge, reliability, and flexibility. They even jumped on a zoom call at 8:30pm to help my daughter with a step that she had questions about. Towards the end, they prepared a weekly outline to be sure the dress was completed in time. I highly recommend this business and will surely use them again if my daughter needs more lessons!

Does it ever seem like companies originating in one town or city favor it? Honestly, I don't think…read moreit's a bad thing (I like it), but it seems to be becoming a trend. The Paper Store / Hallmark is based out of Acton, and now has two stores throughout the town, one here on Massachusetts Avenue and another in a plaza on Great Road. Being that this one is newer and was in the space of a former CVS, it's large, modern and super vast! Definitely one of the best Paper Store locations I have been to in terms of inventory. I shop here mostly during the holiday season, because they have just so many options, and even with the higher-than-average prices, it's worth finding things you won't be able to find elsewhere without ordering online (which I am highly against). Currently, they have lots of 30% off coupons, and the catalogs are always appealing. Here, the Hallmark Card variety is outstanding and the staff are friendly and keep a warm, happy, and calm attitude to the store. Definitely a cool place to shop, and one of the spots that answers the question of "what should I get for her / him?" 4 stars for this Paper Store.
