It's a whole vibe and one that you just can't get with a bookstore that primarily sells new books. There are some items here that are kept under glass, making me think that they might be rare or valuable. Just browsing the shelves provides endless amounts of curiosity-about the stories or information that these treasures hold. If you're looking for something specific, you might be able to ask the shop keeper for assistance, or just come and see what treasures find you. You're guaranteed to find something!

The shop is located at the very end of a little hidden alley in Downtown Mesa. If you know where Novel Ice Cream and Organic Bean Cafe is, it's right in that alley filled with foliage :) The bookstore was filled with eager readers on grand opening day! It is tiny, but they have a variety of books ranging from children's books, teen fiction, to romance, to sci-fi fantasy, and more. There are small decor pieces that are so unique and book-focused. If you're looking for a cozy mom-and-pop shop you'd read about in a romance book, this is it! :)

This spot truly is an indie bookstore, there is a little bit of nostalgia here and of course books. I love hole in the wall indie book stores. There aren't a lot of them out there so I get excited when I find one. I read a mix of genres. In the horror section I saw that they had a Dean Koontz special. I've always wanted to read his work and this felt like the perfect time to start. I bought my first Koontz books today because of this store. I will be back especially for the dogs and the great prices.

From the moment we walked into this beautiful Christian bookstore, I felt the peace of the Lord…read moresettle over my heart. There is something so special about a place that honors God not only in what they sell, but in how they serve. Their selection of forever Bibles is truly remarkable. Whether you're looking for a study Bible, a journaling Bible, or a treasured heirloom edition that will walk with you through the seasons of life, they have it. What touched me most was their beautiful Bible engraving -- such a meaningful way to mark God's Word as your own or to bless someone you love with a gift that will last for generations. There's something powerful about seeing a name engraved on the Holy Scriptures, a reminder that His Word is personal and alive. I've always believed a Bible should be written in, highlighted, prayed over -- pages worn soft from love and study. A living Book. The gentleman who helped us truly understood that. He patiently walked us through different translations, layouts, and features, helping us find exactly what each family member needed. We left with two Bibles that felt perfectly chosen -- not just purchased, but prayerfully selected. Beyond Bibles, the store carries a large selection of faith-based items -- jewelry that speaks truth, hats and shirts that boldly share the Gospel, and personal gifts that encourage and uplift. They also offer Bible study tools, note-taking supplies, and home items you simply cannot find on Amazon. These are thoughtfully curated pieces that help deepen your walk with Christ and surround your home with reminders of His promises. The customer service is simply amazing. Every staff member was kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely joyful. The prices are reasonable, and there is no pressure -- only guidance and grace. If you're just starting your faith journey, do not feel intimidated. This is the perfect place to begin. You will be welcomed, supported, and encouraged. This isn't just a bookstore. It's a ministry. A place where God's Word is honored, where hearts are encouraged, and where you can find the perfect gift -- for yourself or for anyone the Lord places on your heart. I left grateful, uplifted, and reminded that His Word truly is living and active.

I am usually not in this area a lot, but my daughter & I wanted to go check out this bookstore for…read moresome used books so we took the drive down. When we arrived, I realized I remembered this spot from when I was a kid, I just hadn't been back since I was younger. This spot is absolutely STUFFED with books, comic books, VHS tapes and more. You could spend quite a long time wandering around looking at all of the books they have to offer. It can be slightly overwhelming especially if you are looking for something specific as there wasn't really any clear guidance on where to find certain sections. We still had a lot of fun though wandering around and seeing what we could find. If you are looking for the prices, they are written in pencil on the inside of the books. You can find a mixture of mostly used books along with some new books. They have a cute shop cat that you can sometimes spot wandering around, or asleep at the front. The woman who was working the register the day we visited was friendly! They also had a cart out-front with a number of books that were free to grab. There is plenty of parking out-front.

Once I was got to the store, I had to explore. I think that if one were to regularly visit Books, he/she would find some rare editions and other gems. Also, they had what looked like reproductions of banned book announcements posted around the store: all were of classic novels that we can't imagine not having access to as students. (See photos: Charlotte's Web, Huck Finn, Fahrenheit 451...) They were quite entertaining, in a disturbing way. They had the effect of making me feel so grateful that past efforts of censorship in the US had failed. In 2024, this is still a real threat. Tiny stores like this one are real treasures. Let's keep them in business.

I also always enjoy meeting folks who have knowledge, expertise and good salesmanship. Looking forward to returning for my next project's needs!

As a first time shopper for my aunt who enjoys this type of hobby, they had a variety of items such as military planes, tanks, battle ships, and subs too.

It felt personal as this is a privately own established business that I enjoy supporting and contributing too.
