This is one of the best book stores I have ever been to in my life. I just spent half an hour…read moretalking to the owner and getting recommendations for new books and authors and I am definitely coming back. This store is a top tier, independently owned place that people should be lining up for. Her selection of new books is fantastic and her knowledge is second to none. I can't wait to come back to Gathering Volumes and buy more books and if you're reading this review stop what you're doing and go inside. From very young to full grown adult you will find a book worth reading or remembering. If I could give this place more than five stars I would.

This place is a mess! Stacks of books block the genre labels above the shelves, and even the new…read morebooks sections are untidy! Is this supposed to look rumpled and cool somehow? The lone teenage staff member did not greet me, and even put on big headphones for good measure. Having said that, I like their style of having many different new books, rarely seen at other bookstores, available, but in many cases just one of each title. There's nothing more boring than going to the classics section and seeing fifteen different publications of Little Women. Their used books (in the way back by the restroom) seem a lot cleaner and newer than is typical for a used bookshop, which was nice.

Greeted by a friendly and helpful young lady who answered all our questions. I loved the atmosphere and overall vibe. I found a cool book on the Songbirds of North America with a disk of actual songs. There are plenty of books to browse through and the prices are very reasonable. My only complaint by my sister was no database to assist in the search, but I was okay as I enjoyed perusing the shelves. Will be back !!!

This is a great rambling used bookstore - the kind where you sometimes have to move stacks of books…read moreto look at the stacks of books behind them. Old skool. A real place to discover something you didn't even know existed. They have some really old sci-fi with rad cover art. Tons of genres sprawling over several rooms. It's a book maze in here! Everything is well organized despite the maze and seeming disarray. They have 25c books outside and the prices inside are also great. Helpful staff and tons of parking! Right next door to the comic shop, in case you want a book store two-fer! Then hop across the street for some Shivers! There's your afternoon sorted.

They have a fantastic selection of paperback and hardback books. They're well worth the visit.read more

They have a giant statue on the inside that kids can climb on and a cute room in the back that is set up for kids. The book selection is pretty nice and I found a few John Saul books for really good prices! Its a cute bookshop that is in a small town with cute little shops and restaurants. I went for an event but will definitely go back to check out what books they get in!!

Trying to keep brick and mortar stores open, I recently placed an order for 30 copies of a…read morebestseller for my company, to be shipped to executives across the country. I was told it would be just 2-3 days, to get them so I placed the order since I was going to ship them overnight. It's now going on SIX days later with no return call from Toledo's Barnes & Noble, as promised. I just tried calling the store, and after about 15 rings someone finally picked up and couldn't find my order, so she said she would ask her manager to "try" to give me a call back today. (It's 11a and the store doesn't close until 9p.) Next time, I'll order the book for $2 less per copy through Amazon Prime AND have it delivered to my doorstep the next day. #FasterCheaperBetter

Great place to save money with great finds. Everything is like brand new yet used. You can find…read moreclothes, toys, large essentials and all your small essentials from strollers to diapers, blankets, and baby mits. I first started going to this place a little over 3 years ago when I found out I was a teen mom with little money. This place was a great place to start and get brand things for much less. As an example, I got a 3 in 1 crib, 2 in 1 stroller with infant car seat, bath tub for baby, clothes and essentials and a few toys all for less than $375 over the course of a few months. This Place is filled with steal deals if you look in the right places and if the owner doesn't have something, communicate, she often gets more things and some stuff goes pretty quick. I still stop by every now and then especially with prices rising!

I purchased a V-tech Go Go smart wheels set from this shop. Before I even paid the owner was giving…read moreme problems! The race track pieces were separated into five clear plastic bags. The 5 bags were taped together with masking tape, except for 1. The 1 bag not connected, but sitting next to the ones taped together, was the ONLY set with a price. Clearly, it seemed the set with the price tag got disconnected from the other 4. The owner was adamant these sets didnt come together and randomly priced the set at $45. I accepted, went home and set it up. Of course; there are a lot of pieces that don't connect to anything! (Such as downward ramp pieces that must connect to something). I called the owner and explained that I believe the 5th set was in fact apart of what I had purchased. She told me no, it wasn't apart of the set and I could bring in the pieces that don't fit anything, for a credit toward the 5th set!! Which makes no sense; i want to complete my set not give pieces away??! Seems like another worker priced the set incorrectly at $23 and the owner wasnt going to let it go for that price. Very shady! Now my set is incomplete and she wants me to pay more money to get the pieces that belong to my set. Horrible customer service.
