First day in Davenport and I stumble upon this bibliophile's paradise: a used bookshop with a…read moremassive collection run by a couple with a true passion for the written word and the readers who devour them. A treasure trove for Davenport and a spectacular find for sojourners like me. Source stands as bulwark against AI and the perverse notion that tech will better our lives. Reading a newfound used book is as good as it gets.

Love this store! I ended up starting the passport book tour here with my bestie!…read more The drinks are absolutely wonderful and staff had us laughing. This is a used bookstore that is very reasonably prices at $3 for paperbacks and $5 for hardbacks with a few other prices in between. They do game nights and have board games spread throughout the store. I really enjoyed having D20 die to figure out a drink because I happen to be very indecisive when there are lots of choices. We ended up a red wedding (17) and a stygian jungle night (18). Both were really good and my friend and I cannot wait to stop at this store again when we are back in town!

We were in the Quad Cities for a wedding. Saturday morning we had to kill some time. My wife was in…read morethe mood for coffee and my kids always like looking at books. After a quick online search we decided to go to Atlas Collective. Overall it was a nice bookstore. The inside was welcoming and there were a fair number of people sitting around drinking coffee and browsing books. My wife and cousins all got drinks and generally liked them. My kids founds a couple books that they liked and ended up getting one. I liked the vibe, and overall was happy with the visit. The only downside of the shop is that it is relatively small. They have an okay selection, but you are going to be limited in your choices. If your tastes align with the selection on hand you will be fine, but you could end up leaving empty handed.

The staff was gracious, the drinks were fantastic (I had the Artemis!), and the selection was diverse. There's also comfortable seating inside and coasters for your drinks so that you don't have to worry about ruining the awesome furniture. I will definitely be visiting again!

Wow! First of all, I must say that SPELLBOUND in Rock Island is SOLID A+. Since moving to the area…read morefrom NYC, I'd been searching for a metaphysical shop (preferably that hosted classes)...and that's when the Universe guided me to SPELLBOUND (which offers all my metaphysical needs AND Saturday weekly classes!). I walked into this beautiful shop and immediately felt peaceful and at home. The husband-wife owner duo is divine. We know each other now since I come in often, and there's nothing better than being greeted with a friendly and helpful smile. Imagine incense, Palo Santo, California sage, crystals, stones, oracle decks and informational tools, beautiful handmade jewelry, essential oils, divination candles, dream catchers, etc... This place is heaven for me! It's my only go-to in the Quad City area for these items. Especially helpful around the New/Full Moons + Solar/Lunar Eclipses. Be sure to say hi to the owners when you come in, as they will happily engage in friendly conversation and do whatever they can to help you find what you're looking for. If you stumble in on a Saturday, be sure to pick up a schedule of their weekly classes (which are very affordable and inexpensive). LOVE Spellbound so much. A+ all the way! -Adam xoxo

Keeping in mind it is a used store so the selection can be limited, I thought they had many books and authors to choose from. They also carry games, puzzles, CDs and records.

My review is as a Seller but as you have to wait while they make you and offer, I've browsed the…read moreinventory and seen the prices. All in all it is the same problem that has ruined "thrifting." Cheaper than new - obviously. But a new book at $12.99 is selling for like $8.99. Better to shop goodwill bins as books are some of the last affordable things at thrift stores. As a seller I took $70 for a collection of about 200 quality dvds. sold individually on eBay or Amazon if I had the time probably $500-1000. Same with the books. I have gotten $50 for a case of 100/150 best selling hardbacks. You never know as one time I brought in quality mint condition coffee table books - my offer for the lot of 50... $2. So I don't know what the deal is but the worst thing is they don't return your books. Some they take and will throw away or donate because the don't want to offend. I wish I had the option to take the books they knew they were gonna trash. All in all, they are only game in town u nless you want to do this full time. And I see them taking advantage. But that's our America. Read they are private family owned. Interesting.

Beautifully laid out bookstore hosting a forward thinking selection of charged topics, mostly…read morebiased in a predictable direction, what we expected; the main room clean and inviting for the open mind. Got myself tickled surprised stumbling upon a new comic book styled adaptation of The Hobbit, didn't purchase, now I regret even for a pricer new edition. Very much there had been more celebration of literature's full magic, iconic authors, celebrated series, unique publishers, instead of just a couple main topics. Noticed the solo staff quietly holding down the side room at the back corner checkout, oddly not near the entry. The second oddity was a bewildering array of invisible god replacements: fortune telling, card reading, and general assortment of materials bent on using the star charts and crystal as religion. Always amusing to see attempts made to replace a simple prayer and book based church, that's remained unaltered for four thousand years, the endless chaos of frantic scrabbling at palm lines, tea leaves, and incense doesn't go along with the rest of the progressive socially cared for collection here. However I understand how quickly the mind starts to make up its own sense of self with the easiest options at hand not necessarily the ones that will last or prove worthwhile.
