Beaverdale Books

Just walking through the door of Beaverdale Books will make you feel at ease. It looks exactly how you picture the cozy bookstores in your favorite novels. Along with all the usual sections you want in a bookstore, they have a really cool selection of Iowa authors that I love browsing if I'm looking for something new! If you want something that's not on the shelves, you can request to order a book for pickup. It's really the best.

Adorable, quaint, neighborhood bookstore! Nice people working there. Great selection of books, and lots of events with authors!

Beaverdale Books is a sweet little book store in the heart of one of the best neighborhoods in Des Moines. The selection is thorough, the staff well-read, and they are constantly involved with the community. Add to that the frequent author events, and it is a cannot miss stop for bibliophiles looking to buy local.

My go-to bookstore. Terrific selection and they can order nearly anything they don't have in stock. I always feel taken care of when I shop at Beaverdale Books.

Incredible store and knowledgeable staff. A great place to browse for books. Even if they don't have the book, ask them and they are more than happy to order the book for you.

I love this local bookstore! They have fabulous customer service and great response time when ordering. If they don’t have a book in stock, they will do their best to find it & get it quickly. I have done so many orders throughout the pandemic & have really appreciated their quick & efficient curbside pick up.

The Mystery Book Club meets here monthly and they give us a little discount when we buy our monthly books. It is nice to support local knowledgeable owners.

I had to ask them for some orders to send to the USA because I'm in Europe, and they were very attentive, kind and patient. They looked for the books I asked for and sent them as quickly as possible. When I chose them I knew that I would not be wrong and I did not. Beaverdale Books is more than recommended, I am very grateful to them and I encourage everyone to buy them books, even if they do not live in that city, they will help you the same. Thanks a lot for your patience, guys.

Wonderful independent bookstore! It had the entire series of a popular kids book my son age10 has been unable to find at the big box stores. He was over the moon to buy the remaining 3 volumes to complete his set! Unique and locally made gifts reasonably priced. Friendly, engaging and helpful staff. Hosts book signings and events. Definitely worth a visit! Thanks for a FUNtastic experience! We'll be back

I am a big fan of Beaverdale Books!! The staff is great and they support the community. I also feel compelled to counter the 1-star review from someone who doesn't understand how google works.
