The demise of the old school hobby shops has left a void that's hard to fill. Some of Ann Arbor's…read moreold shops doubled as toy stores (used to be a good one for lead and pre painted miniatures at the old Arbor Land Mall), Kay-B Hobbies at Briarwood was good for models and basic paint supplies as well as a decent selection of Avalon Hill boardgames. Even Meijer Thrifty Acres wasn't half bad in the hobby division. The best all around though was Ryder's on W. Liberty St. They had it all: Trains, D & D, board games, miniatures, motorized cars and planes, etc... By the second decade of the 2000s these were defunct options, so it was great accidentally stumbling across Warhammer in the Lamp Post Plaza where Trader Joe's can also be found. A few years ago there was a vitamin store of sorts here but apparently they're long gone. Anyhow, I was dying to go in and see what they had. Upon entering the host greeted us, perhaps a bit too peppy, but a nice guy nevertheless. The store was packed with all things Warhammer, which is a longstanding miniatures war game where beautifully painted armies of miniatures are maneuvered into combat where ultimately the luck of a die roll determines the stated up front outcome. Sample dialogue overheard: "I'm going to shoot him in the face with my pistol", then the die roll followed.... a miss. So basically it's a male geek's club 99.9% of the time. Lucky for me I have a geeky gf and she was just as interested in checking out the stock and displays as I was. They even had a table where people can paint their newly acquired figures-- Citadel Paints and brushes, as well as that brand's outstanding tools were accessible. I doubt that option is free since the average price for one color paint pod is $4+, nevertheless, I wager it's worth every penny for someone unable to shoulder the high cost of the hobby. All-in-all, we left with a couple of miniatures, a paint brush-water holder and an expandable figure base holder to facilitate steady detailing.

It was closed today but it looked nice inside. Open tables, paints and terrain. Great for a…read moreWarhammer gamer.

In a day and age when bookstores are being run out of business by Amazon and other online…read moremarketers, it is good to see an old-fashioned bookstore stocked to the ceiling with titles ... all new books in a wide range of genres ... leaning academic or at least intelligent nonfiction with only a bit of popular fiction. We were not surprised to run across this kind of bookstore in a major college town like the University of Michigan. The store is located on a corner in a busy area of Ann Arbor, and covers two stories ... a first floor and a basement ... both well stocked. The staff was very helpful, especially with their "staff picks." We'll visit again ...

I love to purchase the shelves and find something new, although I found the layout slightly confusing, and I found various books and multiple locations. The little tags that talk about unique aspects of the book are a really nice touch. I did find it to be slightly biased politically, but I'm not sure what you can expect in downtown Ann Arbor. They did have a beautiful special version of a book that my best friend from Australia loves, so I was able to pick up that copy. I can't wait to send it to her. When I told her about it, she cried. The book is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much Literati for stocking such lovely products! Sidenote - this bookstore used to have delicious oat milk, lattes and unfortunately, they do not the café upstairs anymore. I do like that they got rid of all the tables where people would sit for hours on their computer computers. Now there is more room for books and I enjoy their selection of YA, cookbooks, and other genres. This is the same bookstore. We brought our Canadian friends too to browse, and it was very fun also. Thank you so much Indie bookstores. We love to stop in!

I love that independent bookstores are "coming back"…read more I love books - especially physical books with real pages. I love checking books out from the library. I love buying brand new books. I love buying used books. I love everything about books. I actually came here while running errands with someone else. I don't think I would have ever known this was here otherwise. I wandered around the store while the person I was with was taking care of whatever it is we came in there for. It was such an immersive experience. I appreciate how the store is laid out. There is/was so much thought put into not just the layout of where sections should be, but where each book goes. It is so well curated. I got so many incredible recommendations from the employee picks that I have loved, shared with others, and they have loved too. It's been a month or so since my last visit, so I'm excited to see what the latest recommendations are. If you're a book nerd, this is absolutely worth a visit. I will absolutely be back.

The store is rather small but has a cozy reading area near a fireplace.. the selection of books is carefully curated.. customer service seemed pretty good and much better than the typical larger retailers. I really liked the layout and purchased up a few books and a magazine.

I love the Starbucks is inside also . I love how Barnes & Noble has a kids program and that they can get a free treat at Starbucks. We also take part in the summer reading program where they get a free book if they read 10 books. I know the Barnes & Noble is going to have a really awesome selection and I love how they've been keeping a great stock of sprayed edge books , which are my friends favorite so it's my favorite to give her for holidays. I feel like they have their books group really well so that it is very easy to know where to go for what you need . Their game section is thoughtfully curated. I love to read the notes from employees about their favorite books. I know this is a chain, but sometimes when I'm having a bad day, I go in just because it feels like Home . I will say that their bathroom is pretty disgusting unfortunately. Most of the employees have been very kind and helpful, but there will be the occasional employee that huffs and puffs when you ask for help. Honestly, I just really love that I can go get two of my favorite things in the same building . It's also really close to the hospital so when my husband has procedures, I pop in and browse the books while I'm waiting. Thank you, Barnes & Noble for being such a happy place !

Our goals were specific musicians in vinyl and books , both for children and adults, both in paperback or hard cover was acceptable. A fun fact about Diggers, is that every single item in the store is the same price, $1.25. The not fun fact is that there is no organization other than the media platform. So be prepared to search bin or shelf or table on your own. The items seemed clean and in variable state and age. It was a lot of fun. Everyone found something, even if not looking for something specific. The only staff member is at the sales counter. By not having significant organization or staff to help they can offer such an incredible value. Go there with an open mind and lots of patience and it will pay off.

I can see the appeal if you love to "dig" through things. The price was cheap ($1.50 each), but the…read morebook selection was limited. Items are used, and they seemed to be on the older end. They tried to organize books by category (romance, biography, etc.), but books were all over. Fifty Shades Freed in YA? Also, not having them alphabatized just made me want to organize, rather than check through the stacks. The Staff was friendly and asked if we had visited before and explained the way the store works (the lack of organization is on purpose). It seems like a great way to spend the day, but not ideal for an in and out trip.
