    This place was a huge disappointment. I took my 3-year old granddaughter on an outing and chose…read morethis local bookstore as part of it. She LOVES reading, and I thought it would be fun to visit a local, independent bookstore. It is a used bookstore, which was not clear from website description. The book choices for preschool children were minimal - a single small bookcase of books - most of which were ancient. (There was a Dick and Jane book there if you want to gauge age of the books). The books were poorly organized and many were very worn. As my granddaughter said, "This bookstore is boring." It was a shame as small communities need good bookstores. This wasn't it. I've been to some GREAT small independent bookstores; I know they can be amazing. This was just depressing.

    THIS is one fantastic bookstore. In fact, it is *the quintessential* small town bookstore, the one…read moreyou actually read about in books and wish you had one yourself. If you're anywhere near Elkhart, YOU DO. Lucky us!! Things we love: The work in progress Harry Potter closet under the stairs. YEP!!! The amazing staff! The owners are SO community-minded. It's remarkable. Of course, excellent selection of books THE CUTEST kids area Rolling bookshelves for event space (!) Events! (such as poetry open mic, or local authors) Local authors are featured Knowledgeable staff FANTASTIC sitting clever signs Things that make me sad: We live an hour away. Go! And, perhaps, you'll write your OWN novel, about a bookstore, and this will be your model. LOVE!

    The service was good, the selection is mostly older used books but it is great for kids books and…read morethere is a nice selection of toys also. Overall it's a nice store that feels a little tight on space and not many new books but if you're looking for older used books this might be your spot!

    Every time I visit The Next Page Bookstore and More in the heart of Decatur, Indiana, I am…read moreoverwhelmed anew with the volume of books that are housed in their classic, brick building. Have you ever noticed that there are some places that just make you feel welcome and comfortable and intrigued, when you walk in their door? That's Next Page! Not only is their selection immense, but their prices are most affordable. When you visit, be sure to check-out the second floor, which is accessible from their wonderful children's book department. Kids of any age will enjoy watching the vintage train, which is on a track suspended from the ceiling. If you get the munchies while shopping, My Sister's is a casual dining spot in the front of the Next Page Bookstore building. My Sister's is open 10:30-4:00 M-F and 10:30-3 on Saturday. If you feel like a specialty coffee, Decatur's popular Java Bean is a short 1/2 block away. While you are in town, explore the multitude of treasures at The Grainery, which is only 1 1/2 blocks away. Park for free in downtown and discover Decatur's many charming shops, all within an easy walk. You will have fun.
