Great find on a Saturday morning!…read more Me and my aunt went for a walk around the neighborhood and came across this bookstore. We had to go in! They had such a great book selection and even had a hidden cafe in the back! We were in a hurry other otherwise we would have stayed and explored the store a bit more. This is a great spot for last minute gifts or to kill some time.

I purchased a book for my granddaughter. At the time of purchase I was asked if I wanted a bag and…read morethe receipt. In an effort to conserve, I declined both since I used a credit card for the purchase. Less than 24 hours later I tried to exchange the book for another. The one I purchased was not quite appropriate for my granddaughter. I was told that since I didn't have the receipt I could only get the lowest price the book ever sold for. This was $5 less than I paid for it the previous day. If returns are so dependent on the receipt, your staff should advise customers when asking then if they would like a receipt. This experience has certainly changed my opinion of BAM and I will be more likely to visit Amazon or another venue in the future.

I guarantee they'll have whatever you're looking for, be it book, toy, or random silly sticker. Enthusiastic bibliophiles run the page, as it should be.

Huge store with all types of used and new books. I only had time to look in the children's section…read morewhich was huge and decently organized by categories such as (sensory/cause and effect, holidays, popular authors, language, potty training, family). You could spend a good chunk of time browsing through the bins and shelves. It is great that they have a train table in the kids area so they kids can play while you browse the books. I was searching for Lunar New Year books, but couldn't find any. They had a bin for the big holidays like Christmas, Halloween, Easter and a general holiday bin for smaller holidays. The employees were nice and can system search by author/title, but they couldn't do a search by general topic/genre.

The Used Book Superstore in Burlington is my personal money pit -- and honestly, I'm fine with it…read more I've never managed to leave with fewer than ten books, and at this point, I don't even pretend I will. The selection feels endless. Every genre, every niche, and then, just when you think you've seen it all, there's a wall of Blu-rays, DVDs, video games, board games, and random bits of memorabilia you didn't know you wanted until they're already in your basket. The prices are almost insulting to other stores. Seriously, I've paid more for a cup of coffee than I have for some of the books here. You'd almost feel guilty... except you don't, because you're too busy carrying out a stack taller than your torso. The staff is excellent -- actually helpful, not the fake "let me know if you need anything" kind. They've tracked down what I came in looking for, and then somehow convinced me to walk out with three more titles I didn't even know existed. My shelves at home are groaning under the weight of their recommendations, but sure, suggest me another series. Why not. I've been a regular for about a year now, and as long as I live in Massachusetts, this will be one of the few places I actually look forward to throwing money at. You never know what you'll find here, which is exactly why I keep coming back.

Just before their two year anniversary, Well Read Books changed hands…read more I met the new owner when I went in to buy a book and use my gift card. The new owner told me all the reasons why he wasn't honoring the old owners gift cards. This did not endear me to the new owner. The whole visit left me with a bad taste in my mouth and though I love to promote and shop local businesses, I'm probably gonna pass on this one from now on.

I walked into the store and said hello to the person behind the desk, whom I assumed to be the…read moreowner. He did not respond or say anything the entire time I was in the store. Perhaps because I was wearing a face mask? I looked around at the collection. It was pretty limited and uninteresting. It's too bad, because I try and support independent bookstores.

What a tonelessly snarky fellow. The tall one who periodically visits the cafe staff, where he…read moreconverses in loud yells. I brought two books to the counter today and took a moment to look in my bag for my book discount bookmark for him to stamp. I carefully put my laptop, wallet, glasses, and clean paper wrapper containing the cafe's fresh veggie sandwich half, all on the broad counter for a moment, in the manner of Lucille Ball. I'm old enough that she was my mentor in a special graduate class on clowning, eons ago. But the bookstore clerk zeroed in on the sandwich. "Get your greasy sandwich off the counter. This is a bookstore." Who talks like this? Yes, the wrapped sandwich was anomalous there, matter out of place but for a moment. He had no right to sound this way, but I apologized. The purchase came to under twenty. He was so excitedly thrilled by this. "You can't have a book stamp because you didn't spend twenty today!" He bounced as he said it. New to the discount program because who cares, I quietly accepted this news. "See?" He went on, "Look. It says so right there, right on the bookmark!" I gave no reply to him. "But, of course, everyone just hates to read!" There was no humor going on. He was claiming the right to scold an old person for being nothing but that, in his eyes. I'm older and small in size. What a bully! I looked him in the face and said, "What is wrong with you?" Off balance, he said, "Nothing. This is just what's called having a sense of humor." He turned and sped off. There was no 'thank you' to complete the transaction. To me, a comic to the core, incivility is not humor at all. It's disrespect. It's a man Indulging in meanness towards an older woman because he can get away with it here and there. "Get your greasy sandwich off the counter," was so inappropriate to say, to anyone, the cruelness of it must have felt like free-flight. It was so absurdly rude he brought to mind Monty Python. I spend up to $400 a month on books. I find everyone else here at Toadstool polite, but similarly distracted and disinterested in the customers, except for the owner. But no one else is disrespectful except for this guy.
