    A tower of books...my actual dream
    Jodi B.

    If you're in the Lunenberg area and are a blibliophile, checking out Lexicon Books is a must. It's tucked away in the basement of another building, with a cute little outdoor area for lounging in on warmer days. Lexicon Books is a small bookshop in area, but is crammed full of amazing books. The kids section is delightful, with a little table for little ones to read or play at. There is a section for everyone, with local history, poetry, fiction, non-fiction...basically all the sections you'd expect from a bookstore. The staff are very knowledgeable - I think they must have read every book in the store! Whenever asked for suggestions the woman working (the owner, maybe?) could rattle off two or three books based on your preferences. There is a lot of love in this store, from the comfy chairs to the piles of books, lovingly displayed. I don't read as much as I used to, but this is the kind of bookstore that makes me want to read more.

    "If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is…read morethinking." Haruki Murakami I feel like this book store supports expanding our thinking horizons by giving readers so many more interesting options than the typical mainstream ones. Delightful experience!

    I've shopped at this bookstore several times even though I'm not from the area. I think I've spent…read morewell over $2,000 here in the past and they honestly do have a good selection of books and their prices aren't terrible. That said, the issue is 100% the service here, as most other reviews also mentioned. I remember a few years back, they started adding a couple of percent as a fee for credit card users. Ok, I get it. I'm not happy about it, but I know credit cards can be expensive for businesses. But, the cashier- some young guy, not the owner, made a joke about how glad they are that they can charge us more for it and that if I have a problem with it, I can leave. I didn't have a problem with it, nor did I give him a reason to think I would, but I certainly didn't appreciate the mocking tone about being charged extra. There were items that were not yet priced that I asked about and was completely told off for asking about items he didn't get to yet. I think it's also stupid how four years after Covid, they still won't let you in the store without a mask. The door is covered in signs with a condescending tone about how masks are expected. Again, the attitude is that if you have a problem, leave. This time, I did.
