The store is very clean and tidy. There were plenty of staff in the store keeping things in place, helping customers with questions and also do the checkouts. We bought some greeting cards, stickers and a kid's story book from the store. Prices were decent for all the items. The checkout process was quick and easy.

We were disappointed in this "book" store. Perhaps we were thrown off by the name. We thought it…read morewould offer a garden of books, but it just didn't seem to have all that many books on anything but a very few subjects. It seemed to be more geared toward games, toys, video games and graphic novels. We were in and out in no time, and we normally spend a good deal of time in bookstores. There was nothing in there of interest to anyone in our family. If you are into gaming or graphic novels, this is your place.

The ladies running the counter are nice and leave you to look on your own, but they're there if you need them. They claim to be a new and used bookstore. I didn't see any used books mixed into where I was looking, which meant all prices were normal for a new bookstore. Overall a wonderful visit and a great local bookstore!

I never had a problem with the old owner, but I only interacted with him twice, and he was…read moreprofessional. I'm happy there's a huge used bookstore in Burlington since the two stores on Church Street carry mostly overpriced new books, and there are some other issues I have with these two stores, so I don't shop at either. I have already found some great used books at Speaking Volumes, and hope to find more in future. The Fiction/Literature section is voluminous, and I'm hoping that eventually the Sci-Fi is separated from the Fantasy--that's an old categorization that was already outdated in the 80s. The Mystery section is pretty nice with Christie, Hammett, Chandler, and others. Overall, this place is a reader's dream.
