    Super cute bookstore with lots of other fun things to shop for. There is a cute area for children to read and shop. So many accessories for book lovers like book marks, totes, wall art, and the cutest mini book earrings in different titles. Staff was extremely helpful when I was looking for a specific title and also with recommendations. Can't wait to go back and explore more when I have more time!

    Cute indie bookstore. Nice selection of books and bookish accessories. New releases, banned books, classics, you name it! I think any book lover would enjoy a visit here.

    A lovely, quaint neighborhood bookstore nestled in the bustling city of Webster Groves. I decided to browse the store while I was in the area and was greeted warmly upon arrival. The bookstore offers a wide selection of books across various genres. As someone who loves reading, I was particularly in the mood for personal development and biography books--and I wasn't disappointed. There truly is a book for everyone. Yes, books can be expensive, but purchasing one directly supports the author far more than borrowing a copy from the library. I personally enjoy making notes in my books and love supporting independent bookstores. That aside, you can also sign up for the bookstore's rewards program to receive future perks. Overall, it's definitely a spot worth visiting and exploring.

    great local book store with charming section for children and early readers. if you are in the area for sure stop in and check it out.

    I love The Novel Neighbor! Every time I go there the staff give me great book rec based on what I tell them I'm looking for. They always help me find great gifts and books. I love that they have lots of local St. Louis items for sale by women and locally owned businesses. I also enjoy going to the used book sales to get great deals on good books. The used book sales benefit their charity work.

    I had a wonderful time at the Beto O'Rourke event that The Novel Neighbor hosted. It was very well organized, and all the staff were so friendly! I didn't need to buy a book, but those who were were able to do so easily. I had some time to poke around the store beforehand and got a few goodies. Filled to the brim with books, and also fun gifts and stickers and things. Their Taylor Swift section is top notch!! Easily my favorite local bookstore in STL, I wish I lived closer.

    This was my first time to this cute eclectic bookstore. Actually got the recommendation from my doctor as a great place to get away and loose yourself. Bookshelves are categorized by unique subjects. Lots of little rooms to explore and chairs to sit down with a book. Plus, fun and interesting gift items and novelties throughout the store. Main entrance is on Big Bend. Plenty of parking in the back with a back entrance as well. Ross was very helpful helping me find the book I was looking at and also told me about their website.

    So many bookseller reviews!

    I found this bookstore because they offered a coupon for a book currently being read by my book club. This is the kind of bookstore in which I can lose an entire day. Creaky wood floors, overcrowded bookshelves lined with reviews and book seller recommendations. This bookstore is a mood. I found myself exploring new genres based upon the awesome handwritten notes throughout the store. I love that the young adult and kids books had reviews written by age appropriate readers! Staff was the perfect blend of attentive while still allowing me room to roam. The novel neighbor facilitates in-store book clubs, hosts book-themed birthday parties, summer camps, cocktail classes and they offer two distinctive spaces for event rental. They are known for their personalized Mystery Boxes, as well as their subscription service. In line with their values, The Noble Neighbor, seeks to amplify historically marginalized voices and engage with equity and inclusion work in the St. Louis area and beyond.

    Politics aside, seemed like a nice, if cramped into older buildings, bookstore. Large range of topics available

    They are located on a pretty busy street in the heart of Webster Groves, and I still have new car anxiety.
