Tonssss of selection when it comes to books, all well organized. I was surprised by how cute the kids section was! Great table displays of current hot and new books.

I did not want to deal with a parking lot full of frantic last-minute shoppers. Luckily, I absent-mindedly drove in the wrong direction, and thanks to muscle memory and the Yelp app remembered this location. Score! I was delighted to discover that there was tons of parking, and I was even more pleased to discover an excellent selection of business books--just what I was looking for. I immediately spotted a book that I had been eyeing for a while and snagged it, then perused the other titles until I found another book that I simply had to have. Making my purchase was easy as pie thanks to a highly efficient cashier person. I saved a good chunk thanks to being a member (a great investment if you live your books like I love mine). All in all? It was a most satisfying experience. Definitely check out this location if you're in the market for gifts, too--they have a great selection of books for varied interests, and you can always find something wonderful at a great price. Don't miss their magazine section, either--it's exceptional!

Often times a used bookstore chooses to organize in a somewhat random fashion, so their eye to detail and curation is welcomed. The wood tones and lighting here were cozy.

Southwest Journal, you are like the greatest neighbors all rolled into one!…read more You are the informative neighbor, telling me about new places to check out. You are the classy neighbor, giving me just enough information about things I don't normally care about, just in case I'm ever in a situation where I need to sound cultured. You are the friendly neighbor because your articles always sound so nice. You have never taken on a negative tone with me, kind of like my real-life asshole neighbors. I don't even need to mention how reliable you are! And, most importantly, you are my nosy neighbor. Your crime reports are reason enough for me to live! I love knowing that I'm not the stupid person who let some strangers in, got tanked, passed out and then woke up to find her car missing. I'm sure glad I get to read about someone else doing it, kind of like my own personal gossip magazine. I just wish you'd put the paper in bags before you delivered them. I know it's not great for the environment, but throwing a newspaper onto steps covered in snow/rain is pretty dumb.

There is so much to read on this site you'll get info overload, and manage to have a couple of hours pass by. The name is so Minnesotean, and we're lucky to have them. I think the website and photography of food and restaurants is gorgeous. I find the restaurant reviews are just as reliable as Yelp. Great to have on facebook and the newsletter, too. I'd like to see them continue the Yelp relationship.
