This new comic shop location offers a much larger, brighter, and more organized area to browse,…read morerelax, and enjoy. It is a different ambience from the original store location. There are more gaming tables and restrooms available. The staff are friendly, professional, and available to answer your questions. One must know the prices of the items you're interested in as the prices may vary. This is a fun and interesting place to browse and shop. We will be returning!

Good store, nice people, and has a reasonable and healthy stock of items. I can't give a 5 but…read morethat is only because the price for some items seem a little too high. I get it the tcg scene is booming but man some of those prices are sky high. I almost question how they sell some of that stuff and even some of the regulars admit they go else where on occasion for tcg products. The other items, games, collectables, and stock are reasonably priced and talking with the employees is delightful. it also seems to have a healthy scene of people coming in for games and events so it is a fun a time when they are open.

Worth a stop for any self-respecting nerd! Sure, they have a wide variety of records (as implied by…read morethe name) but they also have old toys, video games, comics, and a life size proton pack! Lots to find for sure! Staff was also beyond helpful.

I've come to this comic store a couple times and I've had a great experience each time! The owner…read moreis great to talk to and the comics I've bought have been fun to read for a wonderful price!

Really great prices on a variety of books. They have a good selection of newer and rare books…read more There is a kids section in the back with children's books. Super friendly service too!

Let's start with saying how staff is so nice and friendly every time I go in!! I love it in here…read more The shelves are filled, they are stacked on the floor, there's never enough time to look through them all. It feels so cozy to be surrounded by books. And the kids room in the back is so cute, there are toys that my daughter loves to come play with and you honestly can't beat the prices. The kids books are typically between about $2-$4 and they have a lot of good options!!

The only reason this place has such low ratings is because the owner is targeted for not adhering…read moreto particular political ideologies. If that doesn't deter you then coming here, as a book lover, researcher, or anyone involved in intellectual or literate pursuits, is one of the best decisions you could possibly make. This is a real bookshop. It's a relic from what you would have had easy access to in the 20th century and prior and that (sadly for our species) barely exists any longer. You're more likely to walk out with a first edition of some esoteric and forgotten knowledge than whatever you planned on finding when you walked in. You could spend hours just glancing through one row of shelves and still not even catch half of it. The books here are high quality, ranging from contemporary titles to 19th century (and probably beyond) originals. There's a bit of everything, from history and archaeology, to religion and spirituality, to music and cars, to novels and poetry, to travel and hobbies, to social matters and Jewish interests. If you like books, knowledge, or anything that could be found in a written text, you'll find it here. Apparently people dislike the owner. I have no idea why. He's brief, witty, and competent. Are people so accustomed to the fake smiles and creepy stalking you'd get at a Barnes & Noble that they've actually convinced themselves that this is real life? Or even desirable in any way? You won't find a retail worker pretending to like you in hopes of keeping a job or getting a tip here. Just a real man with a real mission and amenity.

So rude. I went in and spoke with David on three separate occasions about selling him books. He was…read moreOK. But then when I brought the books in and was talking to him about them, he turned from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde. Couldn't understand it. Just rude and snotty and short. I guess there's other bookstores open. I'll go to those. Incredibly disappointed. A real tool.

They have a big selection of all publishers and tons of cool board games. The new comic section is…read morea little hectic for me compared to some other comic stores I go to. My buddy and I were hoping to set up pull boxes somewhere and inquired here but we were told they don't offer those anymore. Definitely a good place to go to a couple times a year to check out their back issues, but without a pull box service, it will not become my main comic book store

I love GOB! They have the best selection of games, miniatures, comics and graphic novels. The staff…read moreare always friendly. They also have a fantastic rewards system for purchases! Love the game room and that they offer classes, events, and painting contests.

There are a lot of books here at all different price points. They do sell new (even though resale…read moreand older) books at full price. You can easily find a book for around $6 though. It's the type of bookstore where you go to browse and not look for anything specific. There were stacks behind the stacks on the bookshelves, we looked through those books too. It's a fun spot if you're in the area, and you could spend any amount of time here.

Excellent, cozy and cool used bookstore with many titles and a wide selection of books. Service was…read moreexcellent and the guy up front even recommended a book (when they didn't have Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds by Charles Mackey he recommended me a book whose title I forgot but was about a similar topic and I bought it). Great prices and value too. Check it out if you are in Royal Oak!

This place was neat. I hadn't seen it before and according to the other reviews on here, they moved…read morefrom a Woodward location to 9 Mile, so that would explain it. Huge selection of gifts, including some fun Schitt's Creek stuff and Golden Girls, and also lots of candy and chocolate. They had Coffee Crisp which surprised me, it's a Canadian chocolate bar and I've never seen it outside of Canada. They are still requiring masks as of right now (6/13/21) which was nice, also. Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it's a bit pricey - most of the gifts I saw were $9.99 and up, for small things, and they had some Sanders one-piece chocolates for 75c (I've seen them 25-50c in other stores). Otherwise, this was a fun store to browse and I will be back at some point.

What's not to love about a place you can get a sugar high, good laughs, and lots of cool knick…read moreknacks to brighten up your world. Add that right wingers would leave the place with anger and a big headache, you have a place I am glad to live near and EBS would have dropped lots of cash. I keep coming back for the fruit slices that are thicker than Macy's. I also like the selection of retro candy from my distance past childhood. I had to buy a birthday present for one of those "hard-to-buy" 20s generation so I knew I could get some cool stuff she would love. I found some socks, a note pad to write down her evil thoughts, and tennis shoes erasers. Even a bag for the introvert she is to put it all in. She loved all of it and wanted to know where the store this store is located. They have their Christmas stuff out and a warning that some of it would not have been on your grandmother's tree unless your grandma was like a 1960s hippie. Worth the drive just to come here, but you also get to enjoy the other shops in beautiful downtown Ferndale. Parking on the street, lots in the back, and other lots around the downtown. $1 an hour.

We stopped in the shop to celebrate my friends 55th birthday. She decided to do a bookstore crawl…read moreso that we could support local women owned businesses. We were welcomed, given background information about how this bookstore began, picked up our copies of I, Medusa- and explored this shop. Several people in our group purchased additional books and merchandise. This store is well organized with wonderful employees and owners.

If they have it in stock they will hold it for you to pick up, or if they don't have it they can usually order it! I haven't had a case yet where they haven't been able to order in a book I've wanted. Support a local business! The people are friendly, the shop is cute, they have staff-recommended items on each shelf, and very LGBTQ+ friendly and supportive. Their email newsletter has info on all of their book clubs (of which there are many) - eventually I will participate in one, just haven't had a chance to yet! There are several monthly book clubs for a good variety of different genres. Caboose (their children's book shop right next door) also has a ton of programming for kids and families!
