Because this place is a little neighborhood shop and not the corporate chain store, naturally it's more expensive and the selection isn't always the best.
But as the other reviewers point out, it's important to buy locally, so that's exactly what I tend to do. Plus, it's nicer to walk here than to head a few kilometers to the closest McPaper (the name of which is admittedly too close to McDonald's for me).
The paper supplies are varied and interesting, and there are lots of different styles of journals here, as well as pretty prints that can be hung on the wall or used for wrapping paper.
The "spiele" selection is, however, much more lackluster. In looking for potential gifts for my nephews and niece, I breezed right through, as it was neither extensive nor terribly interesting. However, I can see how it might be nice for a child accompanying his or her parent to look at "boring things" like paper might enjoy finding something for him or herself in this place, so I think I get it.
Customer service is polite enough, although not super friendly. I suppose that I would feel more pleased with my experience if I felt less like I was "just another customer" and more like my business is appreciated. read more
