This was my 8th stop on the Indie Bookstore Passport tour, and it is close to Macalester. I was…read moreimpressed with the book selection; they seemed to have a little bit of all genres. There was an abundance of local authors featured throughout the store. I liked the bookish events offered, including silent reading club.

The space is small but the selection in the areas I looked (sci-fi and horror) was strong. The space is very comfortable, and the staff were amazing.

It is cozy and you can tell that the community here loves this store. The owners and staff are so friendly and welcoming and treat customers like friends and family! Their prices are pretty typical of other bookstores, but they also have bargain books/used books that are very reasonable priced! They have a great selection of genres and books for all ages as well. This is an awesome spot that feels warm and cozy.

I visit Minneapolis regularly from the East Coast, and a visit that doesn't include Moon Palace is…read morea substandard visit. Any new book that I hear about and want to buy, they invariably have in stock, alongside a wonderful selection of titles I may not have realized existed. They're the kind of place that gets me excited about the world, even if they also remind me there will never be enough time to read everything I want to. I've been to a ton of independent bookstores in the Twin Cities, and Moon Palace is the best. Heck, I've been to a ton of bookstores in a lot of cities, and if Moon Palace isn't the best anywhere, I can't think of one better right now.

The staff are very friendly and they also have a small restaurant/cafe in the back! The book prices sometimes feel a little more expensive than other book stores. This shop is also awesome in that they are very inclusive of all types of people from difference backgrounds and they are very openly advocates for many important causes!

Get ready for used books at Paperback Exchange!…read more When you first walk in, the piles of used books are a tad overwhelming, but it also lets you know where to spend a few hours book-hunting. The small space is filled to the brim with books of all varieties and all conditions! The girl working the counter was friendly and helpful. She also let us know about the discount/credit customers receive when they sell books to the store. When looking for cheap used books or trying to get rid of books you no longer need, Paperback Exchange is a great place to try!

This place has no books whatsoever. Just kidding! You walk in and there's a "Woah!" moment because…read morethere are so many books vying for your attention. The selection is a little heavy on the romance, but my mom took plenty of those off their hands. Don't worry though, there is plenty more to search through and it's very well organized. Organization is key with these kind of stores or it's just too overwhelming. Helpful staff, street parking, great selection. The pricing is a little confusing on trade-in stuff, and the prices in general are a little high for used books, but that won't stop me from coming back. It's in a great neighborhood with a coffee shop right next door. Grab a book and then go grab some coffee. Perfect.

We had some time to kill before attending a movie and stopped here. The book inventory was pretty…read moregood, but man the prices for books here are obscenely high. I had some sticker shock at the cash register ($43 for the book I selected). This location has a cafe, as well as a wide assortment of toys and non-book gifts.

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.

They got rid of the seating (probably years ago, I hear theories on why) but it makes it less inviting. The staff do usually greet/ask if you need help, which is nice. They do always have a decent clearance/sale area with a bit of everything. Prices vary from store to store, I do find that this location has better pricing than some of the other locations. I'll still browse around B&N but typically all I do.
