The book selection was pretty good not comparable to places like Powells though who have a way larger selection. If those spots overwhelm you because of all the choices then this would be a better spot. I got a softcover for 18.99$. They do have a punchcard though where if you get 12 books your 13th is free.

I recently came here on Independent Bookstore Day + they had some special deals and a wheel to spin for extra prizes. I was looking for a sci-fi book for a birthday gift for my dad - and they were able to recommend one with the space theme I was looking for. I was also able to get 20% off the book that day. They even offered to wrap the book, and did a lovely wrapping job for no charge :-)

I'm looking for ephemera from the World War II era. Paper Moon Bookstore: Oh, yeah, we have lots of that. Me: Great, can I see it? Paper Moon: Sorry, no. We only sell that through the internet. Me: Is the material here in the store? Paper Moon: Sure. It's in this box. (Reaches out and touches the box.) Me: Could I look through it right here, in front of you? I'll be really careful. Paper Moon: No. Me: Could you look through it, and see if you have any XYZ in it? Paper Moon: No. You'd have to go online. Me: And if I find something online, could I come and pick it up? Paper Moon: No, you'd have to buy it through the mail. Me: But I'm here, with cash. Paper Moon: Shrug. Me: (I went to their website later. There was nothing there. )

The knowledgable staff member sparked a memory when they mentioned a few books from my own childhood. They then instantly reminded me of a real life Kathleen Kelly. They ended up showing us a few books based on our daughter's interests. My daughter loved their suggestions. We ended up purchasing one book that they suggested because of their interaction with us. The store is cute itself but having someone with that excitement and knowledge makes you want to come back. Overall review: Very cute children's bookstore with fun creative displays. Great selection of books and calming patio. Highly suggest this store.

Very nice helpful service! It is a bigger space inside than it appears, and it isn't too crowded…read more There is a good selection and mix of texts. There is a lot of romance, fiction, etc., but plenty of classic texts, travel writing, and history. For example, I bought an American history book, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, a Plato book, and a couple more. My dad and I got 8 books all together for $44. Pretty nice!

So many bookstores get love for having a massive selection, but what does that massive selection…read morereally do for me? Selected Stories takes a completely different approach by offering very smartly curated shelves full of exceptional reads. Walk in, find the shelf with your preferred genre, and you'll undoubtedly find your next favorite book. The sheer value in the time I've saved can't be overlooked. Once upon a time I loved spending the day wandering the aisles of much bigger bookstores, but these days I'd rather have a little more guidance. Selected Stories is VERY good at giving that guidance. BONUS POINTS: I've met only two staff members in my half dozen visits and they've both been phenomenal.

The curation is incredibly thoughtful with a great mix of literary fiction, nonfiction, translated works, local, national, and international book prize winners. They even have a small section for children's books. All new books. All with fantastic covers somehow?? You just can't go wrong with whatever you pick up here. The space is so inviting, warm and chic. Small, but mighty! Reminds me of a McNally Jackson, which is A+++.
