I tossed it and the last time I'll visit there.No customer service from her , she can keep her matter of fact attitude. Jerry Ellis

Excellent and varied selection of books. Browsing there is enjoyable, in a very modern setting.read more

Such an awesome bookstore...love the selection of both more current and true antiquarian books…read more The more time I spend in here, the more I'm going to find without which I can't live. The store owner is also fabulous and welcoming. Would give it more stars if I could!

I love this bookstore. I can't believe we've lived in this area for so long and hadn't gone in. The…read morewoman working was LOVELY! She was very very knowledgable and navigated the store like a champ. The amount of rare and antique books is really fun to look through! My husband bought a few rare copies of Steven King's IT and The Stand. They also buy back books - but you have to make an appointment on Thursdays. I can't wait to go back.

A great find! I hope to come back again someday. I love the chalk ware statues and the affordable…read moresmaller ones. I love collecting Holy Cards and they have a variety, I just wish the nickel-Holy-medals were easily accessible, they were behind the counter and I understand. They have a selection of books as well! I got a couple of Saint cards and a couple of Rosary rings that I've been looking at online, and now found irl. Would definitely come back again when I'm around the area :)

Natick Mall ( I refuse to call it collection) I will say is mediocre and not worth it. We live in…read moreBoston and the 30 minute drive including tolls is just not worth it. My big issue with this place is the food court. Taco Bell and Mcdonalds have advertisement offering one price but never honored. Mcdonald's had a any size beverage for a dollar but I was told "we don't offer that in the mall". If you're not part of a promotion the common sense thing to do is not advertise it!

I absolutely love this bookstore! It's absolutely adorable and has adult books as well as kids…read morebooks. They also have tons of cute gifts, funny stickers, puzzles etc. They run different monthly bookclubs and I love the romance one. Mary is so nice and it is really fun! There is street parking and it is right in downtown Natick. Be sure to stop by and check it out, as well as look at their events online!

Finally, a real local, independent bookstore in Natick! This is a sweet little store, with a very…read morenice selection of books, especially for its size. They have a good-sized selection of kids books (for a store of its size), so it's a good place to bring the kiddos. While it's right on Main Street in downtown Natick, you might miss it if you're driving, since, although it says Ten Trees Books on the door (window?), the big lettering on the building says "The Hive." The store is still kind of in its early days, I think, with plans to add events and such in the works, according to Kim, it's owner, with whom I've had a couple of very friendly conversations. They do currently host a Classics Book Group on the first Thursday evening of the month, but I'm not sure if they have any other book groups yet. I look forward to watching them grow and hope they're able to thrive....I know it's tough for independent bookstores in this day and age, but I also know that Natick is the kind of town to have the type of people who will try and support it. If you live in, or are visiting, Natick and you like books, I heartily recommend checking it out!
