It is about their favorite hotel in the South of France and Martine wrote the text and Prosper took the photographs.

Navigation was easy as the interior is a big loop with everything with words are shelved along the exterior walls. In the center is activity items like puzzles, toys, stuffed animals, and current hot items loke Pokémon and Lego action sets. It was very quiet inside like a library where moms with kids were picking out some summer reading books and older people sitting in the comfortable chairs checking out the first chapter of their book. It is wonderful that there is still store out in the public that you can actually hold a printed material in your hand and not just on a computer or tablet. They have a rewards program as well as a yearly membership that gives discounts for loyalty purchases.

If you're familiar with the "EAT MOR CHIKIN" place across the street from the Sawgrass Mills mall, you won't miss this bookstore! I recently went in to do some shopping. The two associates I found around the store at different times were helpful in searching for titles of books and LPs from their inventory. The only thing I would recommend is that they organize the books a bit more because it took too much time to go through all the shelves to find what I was looking for. All that said, this store also carries a great selection of games and toys as well as vinyls, and checkout was quick--even during the holidays. So on this first visit, I walked out with a couple of children's books and an LP! Open every day from 10-9 PM, I look forward to returning soon and finding a hidden corner somewhere to peruse new books.

They have a huge amount of space inside their store & they utilize every inch. I like how their sections are relatively organized by category, although it can get a bit overwhelming with just how much they have. Everywhere you look there's display cases loaded with figures & bookshelves filled out. They have the best selection of comic books in south Florida, by far. When it comes to quantity & variety they have a great offering. Horror, superheroes, sci-fi, anime; they have some of everything. They keep a nice stock in their weekly release section & carry a lot of sought-after series. While they don't carry every cover variant, they do a good job at having at least a couple for most issues. The workers are usually pretty friendly. They offer help looking for items in their massive store & will point you in the right direction if you have any questions. I've never once had a bad experience in all the years I've been visiting. As good as they are, I have 2 complaints. First off, they're sometimes a bit overpriced. Whether it be an action figure or certain comic, there's been times where I've found them pricing things $2-$15 over market value. While get it's a business, I hate finding something here only to realize I can get it online cheaper. I'm ALWAYS for supporting local businesses but unfortunately it dissuades that. Lastly, sometimes I'll look for a series to start & they'll only have issues #2 & on. While it's not that big of a problem, I always grab issue #1 before any others so this'll cause me to skip out. Usually, however, this doesn't happen often. Overall, Tate's is the place for all your comic & collectible needs. There's not much more to ask for considering their good service, up-to-date selections & large variety. Also, be sure to check out their art gallery upstairs. They carry tons of stickers, prints, originals & crafts from local artists!

They're a great place for UM law merchandise as well. But the best part is their buyback program. I took a class this semester where the professor required two brand new, expensive textbooks. We never had assigned reading or even opened the books. One of mine was still in the plastic. I was upset to see that the books were about 1/6th of what I paid online. When I went to book horizons, they gave me double the best value that I could get elsewhere in cash. They were very kind and understanding about the situation. I highly recommend book horizons for any student buying books, selling their books, or looking for UM merchandise.

You walk through an outdoor entrance with black iron gates and the first thing you see at this bookstore is a bar! Ha. They have a cute outdoor patio seating area where you can eat, drink and read a book. There is an indoor cafe space and seating area as well. There are literally books EVERYWHERE!!! On the left side is an entrance to one side of the bookstore and on the right side is another entrance to the other side of the bookstore. Super organized with tall shelves of books, books and more books!!! f you walk past the bar outside and pass the outdoor patio area, there is another entrance in the middle to the indoor cafe with more seating. The indoor cafe entrance also connects to the bookstore inside too. We stopped by here during the day when we were walking around Coral Gables grabbing lunch and checking out the local museums. But we didn't have time to browse so we came back at night after dinner. At night, there's a bar/lounge vibe which is cool. They also had live music when we were there on a Saturday night. Beautiful bookstore set up and organization. They sell cute gift items too and the kids section is great! Love everything about this spot and I believe they have several other Books & Books locations. The Coral Gables location I think is the original and biggest one? Go check them out.

Whether it's a solo trip for a quick purchase or a meeting spot for a quick bite and leisurely stroll, they have everything you need and can cater to any in search of some good books without the secondhand hassle. The open courtyard at the entrance has a bar offering light lobster options and wine. The floor plan has a winding maze-like layout making your browsing experience much more interesting. They also host book signing events with local authors so checking their social media pages is a good way to sneak peak what's in store. They have something for every reader and even plenty of independent and local newspapers. The staff is very helpful and they're quick to help you find whatever material you're searching for. The prices are reasonable and there's plenty of categories to choose from. It's perfect to come here when you want a chill activity without the hustle and bustle. There are deals on the wine bottles during the week so check their calendar. I recommend this place over the conglomerate booksellers because they really support local business owners and their prices are extremely attractive for the range they offer.
