This is a cute little bookstore with good vibes. Located on Cherry street in a lil shopping…read moredistrict, there is street parking but I'm not sure if there are any nearby parking lots. This bookstore has lots of new releases, lgbtq books, books about social justice issues, as well as a young readers section. They have three different book clubs that they host- new best sellers, sapphic book clubs, and birding book club! So cool!

[Out of Towner Review]…read more If a bookstore felt like a HUG, this would be it! I loved visiting this special independent bookstore in Grand Rapids. I love when you walk in you are greeted with the 100 Banned Books to peruse through. I love a business that highlights banned books, as all booksellers should be doing this year. Although I felt like the selection was limited, I wasn't upset with this store. It just took me a little longer to find a book to purchase. I loved all the knickknacks (stickers, bags, etc) they had to shop from. The kind bookseller was helpful when I asked for help. She was completely open to offering suggestions, but I felt capable of finding something else. She was extremely kind and engaging with the few patrons that were in the store. Since I this was my first time here, I was taking it all in. The kid section was really cute and the layout is easy to shop. I enjoyed the staff picks and layouts of the different sections. They are on the smaller side, so I wouldn't expect to show up and find every single top book on the market. But there are PLENTY that I found enjoyable and enough to purchase two books! Small town charm, but make it books!

Got a bunch of patches on sale and prices for games were $12-15 cheaper than normal. The Gaming Warehouse is more gamed based where they have tables set out where people can play at hosted events. Disc traders has CDs, figures, many second-hand devices but wide selection from iPads to calculators to gameboys to $700 curvy monitors. CDs for movies, VHS, playstation, xbox, but not much for DS imo (iso nintendo ds stuff). I was surprised as to how many games pookie got and the value. He got 3-4ds games, gameboy advance, 10 patches, and a switch game for $100. Got games like animal crossing for $42.99, harvest moon for $17.99, gameboy hames for $3.99 (but free because of buy 5 get 1 free promo), and a bunch of cute $1.20 patches. My legs fell asleep looking at patches. Probably in there for 30mins-1hr. :) folks (workers) were cool.

Today I took a complete tv series into Disc Traders to sell back to them. I purchased the series…read morewhich did not come with the original plastic dvd cases but had an after market 2 discs per paper sleeve, 6 sleeves in all AND the original box for the tv show. That was all, no bottom to the box when the staff assembled and SOLD the tv series to me. Today Disc Traders would not take the tv series back JUST AS THEY SOLD IT TO ME. When I told the "manager" that I was sold it that way he just said that was unfortunate. NO, that was STUPID and deceptive to sell it in the first place.

I think it's a really great addition to the area, and a nice place to pop in if you're waiting for a table at a nearby restaurant or walking in this area. The vibe inside is a bit moody and dark but I like the big window in front. It was decorated with origami cranes when I was there. The selection of books I saw was varied and I think they stock something for everyone. The owner Lea was very kind and chatted with me a bit about her background. I always love learning about business owners so that was really nice. I particularly liked the non-book items like puzzles, tote bags, locally made pins, cards, handmade mugs, and more. I'll definitely be visiting again in the future for gifts for myself and others!

I listen to a wide variety of genres and yet it seems impossible for me to find any records I'm interested in, especially in genres that aren't soft rock/country/classical. If you do happen to find an artist you're looking for, the spots are usually empty or only include the worst albums. I've had much better luck at Vertigo Music downtown which seems to have everything from niche experimental genres to hot new releases, and all at a better price point.
