    We absolutely love coming here between the friendly staff, reasonably priced books and perfect book aesthetic/environment.

    What a gem I found today! Out of my love for books, books, and even more books, I found this wonderful used bookstore. The attendants were just as happy to greet me, as a new customer, as I was to find a book I wanted as soon as I walked in. I'm happy to see bookstores still around. People still do find books enjoyable to read, to purchase, keep, and give away as gifts. Book-giving has created some of the longest friendships I have which I cherish deeply. I was able to pick up a few bookmarks to give away which has information about the stores' hours and the many categories they stock. The store is very unassuming. The small windows in the front don't give allude to the magnitude of the place. It's a huge bookstore, filled with all kinds of books from Architecture, to Art, Music, to Books on Tape, Children's Books, Classics, New Age, Romance, and so much more. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. And, please, while you're there, say hello to Bo, the bookstore's beloved cat who is also known by the name "Gentle Lion". He's so sweet and sure of himself. I learned that he's always welcoming to women, especially.

    This book store is such a cool and unique spot! They probably have a lot more books then barns and nobles. It feels like a nice warm place with some comfortable chairs to sit in, around the store and enjoy your time. Definitely a nice and quite and a great place for any bookworm

    I just happened to be driving by today and discovered that the owners of BookWise had left over 50 books for free for people in the community! How refreshing that a local business was thinking so kindly of their neighbors!

    Very happy we found Bookwise on a rainy Saturday afternoon. For some reason, Broward and Palm Beach seem to suffer from a shortage of good used/independent bookstores, but this is a notable exception. Its a great size and has lots of little comfy nooks to sit and read or browse. There is a huge selection of books in excellent condition, all of which are well-organized by category. In addition to the great variety of popular fiction books, we made great discoveries in the Children's book section and the well-stocked cookbook aisle which we picked up for much less than we would have paid at Barnes & Noble. There were also interesting shelves of graphic novels, political science books, history and reference books. The store is staffed by very friendly book lovers and a happy ginger cat, definitely worth a trip.

    This was an interesting store. It's located in the same shopping center as the Wings Plus. We…read morewalked over to browse after having lunch. The store is a used bookstore perfectly located across the street from the college. It specializes in selling (and buying) textbooks for the college courses offered nearby. In addition to the textbooks, they carry non-fiction and fiction books (mystery, sci-fi, romance, etc.). The non-texts on the shelves are neatly arranged by category and alphabetically by author. In addition to books, they have some quick study guides, lab coats, and notebook binders, among other things that a student might find useful. Oh, and they even had a section of children's books, too. After browsing a bit through the titles just to make sure we hadn't missed anything, we left without buying anything. But we were glad we'd stopped in to see what they have so we'd know.

    Back in school again!!!…read more I decided to take one course this semester. I'm one of those learners that needs a hard copy book from the bookstore and not a virtual online version. For example some courses the books are way more expensive if they are book version. But the class I was taking was only $10 difference between virtual and loose page version. The employees was very helpful and showed me where it was located. The line had 5 people infront me and took a long time getting checked out. Wished they had check out service or something else. But the employees are nice. Yes getting materials are expensive but spending money on bettering your life is sometimes needed. Overall a good experience.
