GW and ER are such important, 'kindred souls' that supporters put up the $$$$ to cut a door connecting the shops so you can wander back & forth. ER is strongly focused on serving neglected social communities ~ afflicted children and the bereaved as well as the neighborhood's substantial gay/lesbian and 'minority' populations. Doesn't have great breadth of stock but will order any book they can find for you, call when it comes in [and save you shipping]. They routinely discount bestsellers and have a 'freebie' section where lots of really good books get recycled for nominal contribution. Staff is sharp, personable, worth talking to. There's a fairly eclectic magazine rack, greeting cards, some world craft items, works by local artists, and specialized racks related to Michigan and to medical cannabis. Scott also makes a small community room available, hosts readings and guest authors; there's no telling who you'll run into at the ER / GW ... ' Also on 2000 block are Italian, Somali and Thai eateries and the Green Door blues bar = well worth getting off the bus.. ER no longer operates Postal substation ~ was huge money loser.

I have been frequenting the Lansing area for about 3 years now, and only recently found the…read morebookstore. while i have found myself multiple times a week now for "used book appointments" and just to browse in general i cannot get over how infrequent the store is. employees never seem pleased to help, in fact they are talking about nonsense behind the counter more often than not and then seem bothered when you need to checkout. The used book venture is another topic. Online they have a number of parameters for the used books you bring in. some being "no library marking" and "no creased spines", they do not accept textbooks, bibles or magazines. I have personally seen all of those things on their shelves from the bible and religious text, to library markings. so it does bother me when I come in with books in good condition and am turned away, BUT then i go and those same books are on their shelves to be sold. make it make sense.

One of the antiques is the fellow who works here who is certainly not someone you want to depend on if you're in a hurry. He is a sweet old man who always has the time for an impromptu chat about this or that and he has a vague idea where you might find that or this in this store. It's very cramped and difficult to walk through, let alone find anything specific in, but it's so very interesting. Inventory keeps piling in, quite literally, and I don't think I've ever used, literally, so appropriately. I found some openly racist anthropology ("South American Redskins") from the early 20th century, and some truly vintage racist (and racial) legal text from a little bit earlier ("People of color property issues" and yes, that's the origin of the allegedly open minded euphemism, segregation law), sheet music from the Roaring Twenties, Shakespeare annotated meticulously two generations ago by a theater professor, a photography coffee table book from Post-War (World War II) Japan - the era when my father met my mother in rebuilt Hiroshima. There's a fascinating cramped filing cabinet full of antique postcards and while I was there a Korean War veteran and his middle aged adult daughter found a WWII era post card that had been sent to a relative (penny stamp affixed) from Europe. If you're the sort of person who thinks that rummaging through a museum warehouse or a restricted archive would be fascinating or an antique book collector (either a collector of old books, or an old collector of books) this is a must-see one hour destination.

She then allowed me space so I could wander and decide on those I felt I needed. I left with (3) stones and (2) crystals. This young lady is truly an asset to Coyote Wisdom!

I thought this place would be a decent comic book store in the midst of the city of Lansing. The…read morereason I chose this store was that I had some comics that I wanted to be graded (getting your comic graded makes the comic that much more collectable) and they were the closest to me. After doing a bit of research on the place beforehand. I was fairly impressed that they've been in business so long and even after a death in the family the business was still running well. They even do Friday Night Magic nights. So after a nice long drive to Lansing. I arrived at the street it was on and my GPS had informed me that I passed it. Twice. There were no signs that I could see. I had to look at a bit closer to see that the store display had comic book memorabilia. I found a nice parking spot in the back and went up around to the front of the store. Come to find out that there are two stores that share the same place. A bookstore in the front part of the store and the comic store in the back. I really didn't have a problem with this except it looked like the book store had been closed for sometime. They did however have some pretty neat locally printed books and I bought them from a lady who had to be pulled from the back room. She was the one in charge of the book store part. So I went to the back and it was really weird. They had a broken down arcade machine against a wall, some random comic action figures against another wall, a few shelves with the new comic releases. At the counter they had various stuff. Mostly magic stuff. I talked with one of the workers and he looked over my comics and informed me there's two ways to grade my comics. The CGC (the main company that grades comics) had a backlog of over a year. But, there's another company that does it as well and it would only take a few weeks. I agreed upon that and they went to go ring me up. Two of the regulars there came up to look at my comics. They looked them over and one of them even picked them up saying that "It's defiantly not a 10" (Meaning that it isn't in the best condition) . They ran my debit card through and for 5 comics to be graded I was charged $90 and was told it would be ready in 2-3 weeks. This was back in August. So October I sent them a message asking why I haven't received a phone call as to the condition of my comics. I got no response. A few months later went by and I tried to get a hold of them on the phone # they have listed on there website. After numerous times trying to call I figured that the # they have listed isn't working or there # isn't what they posted. The reason why I'm giving them one star is that I still HAVE NOT received my comics. I have been contacted by them though through facebook only "Absolutely. I apologize again for the trouble!" So not only am I still out $90 I'm out my comics as well. I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody
