There are 2 independent bookstores in Palm Beach, this is one of them and it is located on the…read moreNorth end of Palm Beach. I never knew this one existed and I'll tell you why... they don't allow pictures to be taken in here. So for reviewers such as myself who wish to show off their shelves of different authors or genres for other bibliophiles to see, that's not going to happen here. I was able to take a single photo of the book I purchased only. Obviously, I prefer the other bookstore because they made me feel more welcome. The customer service in this one was ok as well but let's face it, I am an African American Woman, and this IS Palm Beach so was I surprised that I was watched like a hawk? Nah. I will say this though... if you can't find whatever book you are looking for here try the Classic Bookshop located further down the way. Respectfully Reviewed.

Shoppers are discouraged from browsing and looking at the books (you can't judge a book by its cover after all). The shopkeeper is not only unwelcoming, she is rude and snobby. I took my business to the other bookstore on the island.

This was an interesting store. It's located in the same shopping center as the Wings Plus. We…read morewalked over to browse after having lunch. The store is a used bookstore perfectly located across the street from the college. It specializes in selling (and buying) textbooks for the college courses offered nearby. In addition to the textbooks, they carry non-fiction and fiction books (mystery, sci-fi, romance, etc.). The non-texts on the shelves are neatly arranged by category and alphabetically by author. In addition to books, they have some quick study guides, lab coats, and notebook binders, among other things that a student might find useful. Oh, and they even had a section of children's books, too. After browsing a bit through the titles just to make sure we hadn't missed anything, we left without buying anything. But we were glad we'd stopped in to see what they have so we'd know.

Back in school again!!!…read more I decided to take one course this semester. I'm one of those learners that needs a hard copy book from the bookstore and not a virtual online version. For example some courses the books are way more expensive if they are book version. But the class I was taking was only $10 difference between virtual and loose page version. The employees was very helpful and showed me where it was located. The line had 5 people infront me and took a long time getting checked out. Wished they had check out service or something else. But the employees are nice. Yes getting materials are expensive but spending money on bettering your life is sometimes needed. Overall a good experience.

The place is quite big and the shelves are well stocked with old and new books at good prices. It may take a little bit to learn the genres and if you're looking for specific books, you may need to ask the staff for help. The staff here are nice and when I called to ask if they accepted donations, they politely said yes they will accept small amounts. I assume they may limit the amount they accept as there are many boxes of books there that are not even opened or on the shelves yet so they may be back logged. Used bookstores are a rare find and I think it's so awesome to have a place like Bookwise in the local community!

Anyway, I always stop in after I check out Sea Shore Gifts that's 2 doors down to the left. The main sign says "Crystals Beads & Jewelry" but the name of the store is "Grandesigns" on the door. This little place is a gem, literally. Great prices on amazing and unique findings of beads and such. Their beads are high quality... no questions asked. Michael's is full of imitations. The store is owned by 2 sweet and chill ladies. They seem to know everything about every product they have in their store from healing properties and history/background about the item they acquired. They also have great selections of chakra stones, polished fossils, high quality beading supplies, and great vintage turquoise jewelry. If I hadn't ever known about Sea Shore Gifts, I would have never known about this place either because they're so local and hard to find the information about the place online. I highly recommend this place for all of your jewelry making and mediating needs. Excellent.

Raptis Rare Books specializes in rare, antique, and first edition books. As a young child, Matt Raptis had a deep love of history which led him into a future career of collecting and selling rare books. In 2016 Matt and Adrienne Raptis moved from Vermont to open their rare book business on Worth Avenue. In 2021 they moved to the gallery space they currently occupy on Worth Avenue next in Via Roma and in 2022, Raptis Rare Books purchased The Harcourt Bindery, the oldest and largest book bindery in the United States. The couple once purchased for $1 a signed first edition of "Catcher in the Rye" near author J.D. Salinger's home which they sold for $80,000. Other rare books that have been in their collection include an original 1859 copy of Charles Darwin "The Origin of Species" and an original printing of "The Cat in the Hat" inscribed by Dr. Seuss. Books in their collection have influenced generations and shaped history and culture. The books here are worth thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. In addition to selling individual books the couple will consult with rare book collectors to help them to build their libraries. In an increasingly digital age it is nice to see that books are still valued in our society.
