They also have a reward program which adds up quickly. The real secret to this place is the back area. Tons of discounted well-known and popular titles.

Terrible customer service and rude employees. We ran in for a last minute gift of a children's book…read moreand they were really rude. We were told 3 times they closed in ten minutes- we knew that and were out by the time they closed. They were loudly talking about us in the store in front of us saying "just tell them we are going to lock them in because we are done for the day." Look it get it- it's Christmas Eve. You don't want to be here- and honestly- I'd rather you and your poor customer service and "holiday spirit" weren't there either. And if there had been an alternative to this little store I assure you we would've gone there instead. Maybe find another line of work if you don't actually want to be kind to customers then perhaps sales isn't the field for you.

I love this store and I have been there several times, but checkout is sometimes difficult. At my…read morefirst visit to the store, the clerk asked if I had a rewards membership. I told her I once had a premium account but I thought it had lapsed and I might need to renew. She asked which kind of membership I had and I told her I wasn't sure. She told me I had to know or she couldn't process it. She entered my phone number and rang up the order as a basic membership. I let it go and shopped there a few more times without being asked which type of membership I had. Last Friday, I was waiting to check out, and the woman ahead of me was asked for her phone number to enter for rewards. When I checked out, I wasn't asked so I asked the clerk if she didn't want to enter my phone number for rewards. She was generally kind of rude but did enter the numbee and didn't ask about a membership type. When I got out to my car, I logged into my account. It indicated that I had a basic membership but listed the differences between the basic and premium and allowed me to upgrade. I upgraded without incident. I think the staff should know how to access the membership type and should be able to upgrade for you if you are willing to pay the cost of a premium account. The staff on the floor seem nice and helpful but checking out could be a more pleasant experience.

The merchandise is equal parts books and products from local artists (and local beekeepers and Kombucha brewers!).I purchased a used book that I'd been wanting (for $2!), a jar of local honey, and spent some time speaking with the charming owner about the history of the building. It's a former bank, and the mystery section is located in the bank vault. Look a little closer at a counter where books are displayed - that's bullet proof glass and gun portals from another era. The Book Teller is definitely worth a visit, even if you're not much of a shopper - but if you are a shopper, you will love the handmade jewelry and textile products found here at very reasonable prices.

I like this place! It's a small shop in the middle of town that offers used books, new books, and…read morethe wares of local artists. You can also find some nice coffee there as well. The shop is in an old bank building, and the building's features - teller wall and vault - are in use. The shop is organized well and beautiful, and is a comfortable place to visit. There is a children's section, and there is interesting availability in other genre's, considering the size of the store. Most of all, I think I appreciate the genuine community focus and the non-pretentious feel of interacting with others. I understand that they host community gatherings, which I hope to experience soon. Otherwise, I will be there on the next day that I'm ready to read something new and have no idea what it should be.

I wish I had stopped by later in the day for cocktails - but for now, we were here with a desperate need for coffee. There were so many cool options in the menu like the Red Bean Matcha Latte, the Fig Apple Chaider or the Ca Phe Sua Da. But of course, I had to order the Pandan Iced Latte. I absolutely loved the nuttiness of the Pandan in a latte - I'm just surprised more coffee shops don't offer it. And the perfect offset to it was the Ca Phe Sua Da, or Vietnamese Iced Coffee. It wasn't as mind blowing, but still tasty. Next time I'm in Madison, I'm definitely stopping through for some cocktails!

They were actually out of the book I wanted so told me that I can get credit for a different book. I was looking for mystery and they told me it was "everywhere". The book portion of this place is a bit of a mess and it took me longer to find something that struck my fancy since there was no section devoted to mysteries (there was one for Sci Fi). They have a deal on comic books that was pretty nice so the visit was worth it. I liked it, even with its weirdness.

January 5, 2026 I ordered a 2026 Far Side Daily Calendar and it said it would ship from their warehouse. Today is Feb 17, 2026 and this week I was just notified that it is back ordered.

Luckily Barnes and Noble has them for sale for $9, so I am just getting one at that store (not the website as it's sold out).

Inside, the store gives a nostalgic feel, with a few old Underwood typewriters displayed to give even more an old-timey punch. I easily navigated my way through the store, seeing the different genre sections clearly posted (Poetry, Non-fiction, etc.). I bought two books at $17.95 ea, but found others that interested me at around $24.95 ea. Not all books are sticker price labeled...on older books, they write a price in pencil inside book on front page! As a local (Wisconsin) writer, it's nice to find a bookstore that offers selected writings in an atmospheric way that big chain-stores just cannot duplicate!
