Their main stock is varied and shows a real care to not be a cookie cutter that you can appreciate. Tons of pull tabs marking local authors, and recommendations from the workers. Gives you a simple callout for attention in busy shelf isles. They have a lot of signed books in select areas and some more nice collectables. Their cafe and food is a real plus for indoor and outdoor space. A great location overall with private parking as if you are lucky on timing.

So this store is tucked away on the side of the building which we weren't aware of and so we looped…read morearound the area looking for the sign. Luckily, I believe the owner or an employee made a video of how to get to the entrance. Once we found out where to park and immediately followed the path in the video, we were able to find this store. As we entered, we were greeted by an employee and saw a few players playing 40K as they had four tables for that. The store was a lot bigger than I thought and they had plenty of different products for everyone. They even had some prints and stickers from a local tattoo artist which was neat. They had their schedule in the bag on a huge whiteboard. Plenty of tables and chairs in the back next to their bulk section. My boyfriend bought a pack from them as he loves supporting small, local businesses and the prices here are fair. The store is dog friendly as I asked the employee who greeted us and then a customer walked with their super cute dog.

This is a pretty okay shop. It kind of falls in line with every other game/card shop, but i think…read moretheir Pokémon supply is rather a bit low. There's a little white storage box on the counter that may or may not have Pokémon cards in them. You won't likely find anything in there. They also have a binder with some cards, but it's also a hit or miss. Other than that, the booster bundles are the same high prices you see everywhere else. The employees kind of keep to themselves. Not much interaction, but I'm not terribly bothered by it.

Someone emailed me to see my preference on whether I wanted both items to go together, go separately, or if I wanted to find a different item.

Beyond that, their customer service is superb and sincerely appreciated.

I shop. For baby clothes. Seems premature, I know.. I don't even know what the little bugger is yet (I will tomorrow!), but go ahead and stop me from buying whatever cute things I find.. Just try. I walked into Bootyland the other afternoon, not knowing anything about it. What an awesome little shop! Tons and tons of great new and gently used, kids and grown people clothes. Lots of local designers, along with some not so local brands. I was thrilled when I saw that they have loads of OshKoshB'Gosh overalls (the real vintage ones!) in stock! They've also got some awesome looking vintage clothes (I'm talkin' 60s florals and prints, people) if you really wanna make your kid look dated, er.. I mean cool. Along with tons of really fun kids clothes- 'Babylegs' and Matthew Porter's 'Red Panda' line of baby tees and onesies, they also sell children's shoes and women's Yoga apparel. Really nice people working.. relaxed atmosphere. I cannot wait to come back once I know if I should be buying everything in pink or blue!

I am an UW alumni and have been to this bookstore location several times a long long time ago when…read moreI was a student. I never realized or appreciated how amazing this store was. About two weeks ago, my favorite K-pop group, LE SSERAFIM, was in town and during the encore, they came out in full UW gear. After researching, I found out that the gear was from University Book Store. I really wanted to buy the hat that Chaewon wore and was able to find and buy one there. It was a University Book Store exclusive printed/embroidered on '47 brand Hat. There is a reason I am telling this story though! While I was there, I looked around and see what kind of merchandises they were selling and I noticed that they have done collaboration with quality brands such as Lululemon, Champion (reverse Weave), Adidas, '47 Brand, New Era, etc. Clearly, whoever is in charge of designing the fan gear here knows what they are doing. They also had a clearance section upstairs with items marked down up to 50%. If you're a current UW student or UW Alumni and haven't been here in recent years like me, I highly recommend checking it out. Check out my photos of all the UW gears that LE SSERAFIM members wore during the concert.

I've also noticed that books are arranged similarly to Barnes & Noble. I've been told that the books are carefully arranged and sorted via subcontracted by Barnes & Noble, so if you're interested in that, this is definitely the place for you. The prices are a bit high, but they do go back into student support and activities, so it's a good investment. Also, there is a 20% discount or specific dates and timelines along with promotionals for students. but I don't think that these discounts apply to text books. I definitely recommend a university bookstore.

So instead of getting lost at the mega mart, get lost at this wonderful shop.

Keeping this review short and sweet to match the small footprint yet amazing selection of this…read morehidden, off the beaten path gem of a bookstore. I grew up regularly getting birthday gifts for friends from Magnolia's Bookstore. Yes, I was THAT kid who brought books to the party xD prob explains why I'm so verbose now ;P I digress... I get warm and fuzzies thinking back to childhood memories walking in, feeling welcome (I think a classmate's mom possibly worked here at that time, OR we truly visited frequently enough that we were indeed familiar customers), and taking our time browsing the wide selection to pick the just-right book. Today, when I visit my parents in Magnolia, I will always take any opportunity to step into the shop and step back in time. I feel as welcome as ever, and I kid you not -- it smells just as it did 2.5+ decades ago. Books aren't marked up, so value is standard, and it sure does feel good to support LOCAL. They still have their neon blue complimentary book marks. I sure hope they still provide wrapping services with fun, thin, curly ribbons placed on top like a dollop of whipped cream. If you're in Magnolia and still enjoy the feel of turning literal pages, stop by to find something to keep your nose in!

When I decided to reduce plastic waste in my household four years ago, I had to target my biggest…read moresource of plastic waste: Amazon plastic envelopes. Amazon had been an indispensable way to purchase books and anything at all. The unfortunate side of that is: LOTS OF PLASTIC WASTE. Not to mention trigger consumption! It's so easy to purchase anything. Just press a button and it's at your house in a day or two. This convenience is burying us. When I confronted this egregious source of plastic waste, we began ordering books from Magnolia's Bookstore and haven't looked back. They have a phone number you can call! If they don't have a book you want, you can order it! Sometimes I had to wait. And you know what? We didn't suffer! We had something to look forward to. We have done this a number of times - even when the prices are higher. Convenient and plastic things are cheaper on the front end, but far more expensive on the back end. For wildlife. For the ocean. For our health. Plastic is forever. There is no away. It continues to break down and complicate so many natural life cycles and ecosystems. So yeah, I am happy to pay the extra $$, and support our local bookstore in the process - especially Magnolia's bookstore! When my books come, they are delivered in a cardboard box from the publisher. A fantastic sustainable solution to packaging! The employees at Magnolia's bookstore are incredibly warm and friendly. They will wrap your books in beautiful paper if you want! Free of charge! They sell paper gift certificates, and even have a rewards program that earns me a free book every now and again! What's more, the store has a conscience! This year Magnolia's Bookstore is donating a $50 gift certificate to Magnolia's first ever "Reuse Raffle", in support of Earth Month! If you attend Magnolia's Vino in the Village event in April (discovermagnolia.com) and bring your own wine glass, you'll not only reduce Magnolia's single-use plastic waste footprint, but you'll earn a chance to win a gift certificate from Magnolia's Bookstore (your wine will taste better in glass too, so I'm told). I value a store that supports reuse in this way. I will definitely bring my own wine glass knowing I could potentially win a gift certificate for my favorite bookstore!! Viva local bookstores!! Thanks Magnolia's Bookstore for the wonderful things you for our community, and the planet!
