Every year on my annual trip to Frankenmuth, I have to check out this book store located in the River Place Shops. Every year I haven't been disappointed in what I find....over the past few years I've finished building my Harry Potter series collection with them. Last year, I came across some Minecraft books that were in excellent condition and with having a stepson that is in love love love with the game, I thought he might enjoy this series to get him to read more. He really liked them and asked me to get him the rest of the series!! Score for me lol. So I do always go here with something in mind-that way I don't go overboard with too many purchases that might not be read. I'd buy all the books to read!!! Haha This year was the first time there was a nice guy behind the counter. Usually see a lady when I go. I didn't catch his name, but he was helpful and we also got to discussing some book festivals. I think he only works there once a week....anyway...I ended up with 4 books this time, 2 for my stepson, 2 for me. Another good experience with this place. And it's always clean, organized. Even has a few spots to catch a quick read for adults or kids.

I always find a book here. Nice selection and organized. Not cheap but prices are around half off of the suggested list price.

Shulers lost its charm when they moved to the bigger space in Okemos. It no longer feels like a…read moreplace I want to hang out and the cafe has definitely lost its appeal too. I used to go to the cafe just to get their food, even when I was not in need of a book. The food was that good. Sad, because I much prefer doing business with small, local businesses.

I will never shop at Schuler's bookstore in michigan ever again after the RSD I witnessed. My first…read moreRSD and sadly probably my last. I made calls to multiple Record stores within the last 2 months prepping, planning on where I wanted to go. Schuler's seemed like the hidden gem no one goes to. I was told, along with several other people that they HONOR THE LINE. I showed up at 4am. I was second in line, made friends with the first and third in line who were also told they honor the line. at 8:45ish a man came out and took note of how many people wanted Taylor Swift only. I was hopeful I was getting my entire ISO and my oldest would get what they want to because again, 2nd in line. Doors open at 9am and the man who came out earlier announces free for all. At that point it became a safety issue, people running, pushing, hollering. I got everything I was after however they only had 1 copy of what Toby wanted and they sold out because of course. I called the grand rapids location, the GM was super nice, offered to send us the vinyl free if they had it in stock but sadly they had only gotten 1 as well and it sold out. I am so sad for my oldest because this was supposed to be a fun experience and because of one careless man, RSD has been forever tainted for us because I really don't want to risk sitting out from 4am-9am in the rain ever again just to be trampled on.

What a great "find" in Flint. I love used vinyl and Totem's collection is impressive. In addition,…read moreif you are looking for a particular album, Aarontold me they have a warehouse a block away with 50,000 albums in stock. I picked up four albums - all around $7 to $10. Very reasonable. My wife found some used books. We also learned they are having a four-singer night on Jan. 23 and we are planning to make it back there for that. I recommend this place.

I stopped in this store on Wednesday, March 4th. It is a lovely store with a wide variety of items…read more I was in with a friend to purchase books & possibly anything else we came across. The entire experience was wonderful until we were checking out. There was a nice young lady ringing us up & pleasantly chatting with us. Then, a woman walked in & asked a gentleman behind the counter for food. I believe she was homeless. He told her that they didn't have anything & that she needed to leave. I stayed silent as it was not my place to tell him how to run his business. As she was leaving, I walked to her & met her in the vestibule. I handed her a business card that could put her in touch with an organization designed to help people get back on their feet. When I walked back in, the owner/manager(I'm not entirely certain of his actual position) started complaining to me(and I'm paraphrasing here) that I "shouldn't have given her money[which I didn't], shouldn't have helped her because now she was going to keep coming back because she'll expect more & he now has to be mean to her & tell her 'no'." I looked at him at told him that it goes against my nature to not be kind to someone in need. My friend & I purchased just over $450.00 worth of merchandise. When we were done, we had four large boxes of books & other things. He offered a flatbed cart to help get things out to our vehicle. I said no, because I didn't want anything else from him, nor did I want to give him an opportunity to complain more about me being a decent human being. If a lot of what we bought had not been for other people, I would have told him he could keep it. I will never go back into this store simply because he tried to make me feel bad about being kind to a fellow human being. It's one thing to have a policy asking anyone panhandling to leave. I get that, I understand why policies like that exist & I won't interfere in enforcing those policies. What I have a problem with is trying to shame someone for being kind to a fellow human being. Shortly into our visit (maybe twenty minutes in & we were there for about an hour), we had already planned on coming back another day for more. Now, I will NOT be returning, EVER.
