I LOVED this bookstore. It was the 13th stop on the Indie Bookstore Passport tour. I found several…read morebooks to purchase here. It was a nice touch that they were doing hourly giveaways today. It overlooks the river in downtown Stillwater. There is a coffee shop attached to the bookstore. It's smallish in size, but seems to place an emphasis on quality vs quantity. It is a women owned store. Downtown Stillwater is quaint, and an afternoon strolling the shops, including this one, would be lovely. There is a small parking lot.

Lots of parking space, clean inside with plenty of space in between isles to walk around and the cafe, as always is a plus. Nice seating area to soak up the sun shine while enjoying a good book with your favorite beverage. Have been to this location many a times and never had any issues with customer service or finding what I was looking for. If they don't have it in stock, they assist you in ordering and get it shipped directly to your home or at the store. There is always a friendly associate available to help you out.

Totally my jam! I spent way more time here than I planned just browsing (no regrets!). I had to take advantage of the $5 monthly book if you buy an item from the cafe. The staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful. The gal at the counter informed me of the rewards program and signed me up. I scored some goodies and was even able to receive double points... yahoo! It was a happy Saturday afternoon. Looking forward to future visits.

When I think of used book shops, Dustjacket Books is exactly the kind of shop that comes to mind…read more It's small, and wooden shelves support thousands and thousands of books, floor-to-ceiling. A friendly grey tabby (Simon) welcomed us at the door, followed shortly by the shop's owner. I love little shops like this where you have to dig a little to find treasures -- but I walked out with four books for $12, which was very reasonable. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and I will definitely stop there again when I'm in Hastings.

What a great bookstore!! There are literally thousands and thousands of all types of books:…read morefiction, nonfiction, kids, rare and collectible, homeschooling, etc. The owner, Rick, is a genuinely nice guy. He is knowledgeable and very helpful. If he doesn't have the book you are looking for, he will order it for you. Another great thing about this bookstore is that you can trade your books for store credit. Just a warning--the store could use a little more organization. You might need to do a little digging, but then isn't that part of the charm of a used book store?

This was the 15th stop on the Indie Bookstore Passport tour. I was so surprised by this store. It…read morewas larger and better stocked (approximately 9,000 books) than I expected. It was a little hard to find; even with GPS prompting me that I'd arrived at my destination. I had to double check the address and hunt and peck to find the store. As a result, I really think they could improve their signage. But that aside, I loved everything else about the store. They had comfy seating to curl up with a book for a spell. The selection of books across all genres was top notch. Parking was on the street only, and with road construction, it was a bit of pain. Despite all that, this is relatively close to me, and I can see making a return visit. In looking at their event and bookclub page, they have some great options.

I am very happy this Linden Hills store has been handed down to the next generation. Very few book stores have the intimacy and charm of Wild Rumpus. Have a young child or relatives?

One of my favorite spots!! I love taking anyone who is visiting here, especially kiddos. This…read morebookstore is pure magic, for kids - and adults too. Most known for their animals in-store, this is a visit to a bookstore that includes meeting the cat, birds, chinchillas, and other animals that call Wild Rumpus home. It's so much fun to see and read about them. There's even fish in the mirror of the bathroom! If that didn't sell you, the ambiance beyond animals here is amazing. There's murals all over - including on the ceiling. There's a house-type structure in the back. There's chairs to cozy up and read in. It's like walking into a children's book. And what about the books?! So many books! Mostly children and YA books, but they have a substantial wall section for adults too. Everything from manga to local authors here. Prices are reasonable and service is always so welcoming and friendly. Can't recommend this place enough - whether you're shopping for a kid, bringing one along, or want to feel like a kid again yourself.

I enjoyed my trip to this little independent used bookstore - it is packed with books. There are…read moreeven nice signs hanging up over each genre/section so you can figure out where to look. I was just browsing but I left with several books. The lady had her two dogs at work with her but they were calm and stayed behind the counter. There was no pet odor even though they look to be frequent visitors. There's just the lovely smell of books :) I will be back! * side note - It looked like there might be several cute shops or cafes on this street to visit as well. I can also recommend the post office nearby as the clerk was helpful and friendly. Make a nice afternoon of it!

I couldn't find this online for anywhere near this price, especially since it is in pristine condition. Lots of paperbacks, book bags, kids books-all new & used! Stop in and take a browse!
