They give me 10% off every time I spend a certain amount of money (I don't remember what the amount is. They keep track for me). What I love most about the Frugal Bookstore is their collection of BIPOC children's books. I love knowing that the books that I buy for my nieces and nephews will feature BIPOC characters and stories. Thanks to these books, they will grow up seeing representation and knowing that diversity and inclusion is normal. Most of the books at the Frugal Bookstore are written by BIPOC authors or feature BIPOC characters and issues. There are also a few small gift items and calendars. The store is pretty small but packs a big punch. It's well-organized, clean and usually overseen by Nia, the owners' daughter. She's really welcoming and friendly. She got me into Sister Souljah's books! I'd want people stopping by to know that the hours are kind of limited. I sometimes kill time at the nearby Dudley Cafe before heading over to the Frugal Bookstore. Also, the front door can stick and requires a good pull/push to open. I wouldn't want those characteristics to deter anybody because I love frequenting this bookstore!

We called this shop in hopes of establishing a connection with someone who could help us assess and sell the books (we have all the documentation from his father's purchases). We were treated with extreme disrespect, accused of being frauds by the person on the phone and hung up on without chance for conversation. We aren't antiquarian book collectors and as such might not know all the right questions to ask or language to use. We were shocked by the treatment we received in our search of information, and had hoped for a more pleasant experience. We will take our search elsewhere.

You really feel like you are in someone's rare book library. I visited with my friend without appointment and found it a little difficult to access--you had to go up a narrow staircase from the street and ring a doorbell to gain entrance, but that is entirely understandable for a rare book store of the highest quality. If you feel at all uncomfortable or intimidated at the prospect of going there alone I'd be more than happy to go with you! I know I was, but I am no longer afraid :) A hidden gem.

We do our shopping for Multicultural Book at Multicultural Book World because the books are reasonable, and often times cheaper than the huge bookstore chains; they have a good variety for a small bookshop; we love supporting local businesses in our community (I should say I, the kids are still learning :)). Take a trip to Roxbury and pay a visit to this little gem of a bookshop.

Rob, Yakov, Stee, Jeff, and Jacob are some of the coolest and most chill employees you can find. I'm probably gonna get my Spider-Man/Superman from there someday lol. And how could I forget the pricing of the comics? All of it is fair but they always have special discounts/sales and Rob always welcomes you with a.. "WELCOME TO FRIAR TUCKS!"

He suggested we wait in the record/book store and within 20 minutes we had a table. Service was prompt and pleasant.

I'm giving only four stars because my seat was in a draft from the front door and I was somewhat uncomfortable, but as I mentioned, I came without a reservation so was lucky to get a seat at all.
