I asked the young lady if they had it and she directed me to the Notable Non fiction section which I thought was strange since it is fiction. Of course it wasn't there and I returned to the cash register where she got a little short with me and kept repeating " I told you it's in the Notable non fiction section!" After I kept telling her that it wasn't and why, she not very happily opened her computer and retrieved the book for me. It's a nice store with good inventory. Customer service could use some work though.

Fact: the independent bookstore is one of life's gifts…read more Should you be in SW Florida, you owe it to yourself to go to Sanibel Island when you have time - this is crucial - and visit Macintosh Books & Paper. The inventory in this shop - which is older than me (44 y.o. as of April '19) - is selected, curated, and arranged with style, skill, and heart. To shop, attend a book signing, pick up your book club's latest read is a joyful, informative, and inspiring experience. Were only all bookstores (you reading me B&N and Books-A-Million?) places where the experience is as meaningful and enjoyable as the books we read. Happily, that is the experience brought to us by Macintosh Books.

This attractive and fun shop features all three categories and is one of the nicest of its type I have ever visited. The owners are friendly and helpful, and showed me several games and items that were appropriate for my child's age. There were so many interesting things that I had a very difficult time choosing. Of course I wasn't able to narrow down to just one so felt lucky to come away with only three! Be sure not to miss this shop while in Boca Grande. There is local art for sale, too, and many books, puzzles, etc., which would make great gifts for adults--and for yourself!

This is probably one of the most beautiful B&N's I've seen. It's huge and it set up so nicely, so…read moreclean and neat and well-kept. They have a whole Starbucks cafe off to the side, which is always a lovely combo. Coffee & books? Yep, I'm there. Along with a wide sprawl of book genres, they have a lego section, puzzles and other board games, toys and fun things for the kiddos, and so much more. We spent probably close to an hour just walking around in here and enjoying it all, and it could've been even longer. The prices are still a little higher than is reasonable in my mind, but you have to expect that coming to a Barnes & Noble. They did have a few sales here when I came, though, and one was on some collector Harry Potter books which I couldn't resist. This is a great addition to the University Town Center area.

It seems small, but it has a good layout with a decent selection for all age groups I am shopping for. I grew up on the stores that had stages in the kid space, multiple lounge areas to "test out" the book, and no WiFi so students couldn't use the the tables in the cafe for hours at a time. With this set up, unfortunately, it isn't as inviting as they used to be. Never had a bad trip, but never wanted to take my time perusing the shelves.

We went ahead and parked when we realized. However, after considerable walking and asking many different individuals, we never found this bookseller. We did have a few people tell us the only place they knew that had books was in the pavilion and we tried there too but only found another stall (different name) with very few books. It looks like this business may be closed. I would call a number to check but do not see one listed.

A true gem of SW Florida. I can't believe it's not flowing with positive reviews…read more I've been living in SW Florida for almost a decade now, and I can say for sure this is THE BEST place to buy books around here, period. It has an abundant variety of titles for all tastes and ages, and you can't beat the prices (the owner will usually reduce the total price if you buy multiple books). The place is a little tight when it comes to space, but to me that only adds to its charm. Also, expect some dust on the books and, well, generally everywhere. Whether you're a local or just visiting, if you want to get away from the artificiality of online algorithms when it comes to recommendations about what to read next, give this great bookstore a chance. You won't regret it!
