The owner & staff seem to have put a lot of thought into which brands, etc. to stock and were very knowledgeable, incredibly friendly & wonderfully patient when assisting this "new" OCD dad. I also might add that the experience certainly exceeded that of any previous trip to a "superstore" toy aisle.

Jinx is now Well Read Books. I finally made it over to Fulton to check it out…read more It looks like a different store! The piles of books are gone. It's organized. There are signs for the different section. Staff (owner?) was friendly and helpful. I took some books to trade in and about half of what I brought was accepted, which is better than at some stores. I got an old paperback copy of a book I've been seeking in stores for a couple of years. There was good variety in the store and a nice local/Missouri history section. The cat is still there, so I'm happy as can be with Well Read Books. I will make a point of visiting again soon in the future.

if you haven't been to adam's books, go already! it's only open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on saturdays…read more the books are a bit overpriced, but the sheer number and variety makes it worth it to at least check it out. this used to be along my walk from my house to mu's campus and the window displays were a source of daily entertainment for me. among the walls (literally, floor to ceiling) of books, you will likely find some gems. my favorite purchase here was a misogynistic '70s guide book called 'how to pick up women in discos.' i also scored a bunch of primary source material for my undergraduate history thesis here. the lady who works there is super funny and helpful and most importantly is open (sort of) to haggling on book prices. if you plan on purchasing something, be sure to have your checkbook or cash handy, because they don't accept credit/debit.

We happened upon Skylark Bookshop walking around one day when we had free time during a swim meet…read more We love to go to book stores and browse their shelves. When we walked into the bookstore, we were greeted by friendly faces. The store is nice, organized and clean. They had many different books on two levels! In the upper level of the shop, they have a table with a chess board, which was nice because my younger child was finished looking at books and had already picked out a couple of things before his sister. We sat at the table while working on his books while she kept on looking. We left this bookstore with a few different selections of books and other items. We really enjoyed shopping at this bookstore and would recommend a stop here!

While in a city I don't come to much, I look for used bookstores. I was in Columbia, MO I found…read morethis used bookstore and thought Awesome! Now I can trade in these gently used books (about 3 walmart bags). And they were mostly well known authors. The owner (manager?) did not want Any of them. That's when I noticed that his stock was all hippie dippy woke CRAP..so I guess for those of you readers out there that enjoy this kind of time and energy wasting nonsense, you probably think of this as a great place to go to, I don't. You do you!

This bookstore is okay if you like old books. They have a ton of used books. A lot of them are…read morereally old and antique.

I still haven't received a book that I ordered from them over a year ago. They haven't offered to…read morereplace it, and they told me to buy another one. Why would I buy another book from a store that I don't trust and that doesn't have its s*** together. Don't do business with them.
