Qhat a cool used book store! The staff was friendly, helpful and worked hard at answering our questions. A pretty good verity and good prices. They had cool chairs to sit and read in.
Great selection of used sometimes new books. Super helpful folks working there - I observed a customer looking for a certain type of book and the employee asked a few clarifying questions and found a bunch of niche books for the customer. It was really hard to not leave with tons of books. Very fair prices too!
There's an out-of-print book I've been wanting to acquire for years but always way overpriced. I found them online and saw that they had this book in stock and for a reasonable price. Most of the time, this book is not in very good condition and when I saw their reasonable price, I was concerned. They assured me the book was in good condition. I just got it and they were wrong! It's not in "good" condition; it's in LIKE NEW condition!!! There's slight discoloration of the out page edges it's an old book and expected but the inner pages were perfectly white with bold text, the spine is perfect, and the book cover in great condition. Look, I am very picky when it comes to book quality I collect rare books. This book was kept in great condition and does not appear to have even been read. I'm so thrilled. I've been looking to acquire this book for years. Well worth the wait and a great price from an honest and great book seller.
A great used bookstore and a Dinkytown legend. Fantastic collection of used books, lots of rare and first editions available along their shelves.
Traveling through Minneapolis to visit a friend, popped into The Book House in Dinkytown and loved it! The selection was amazing, and the prices were fair. Since I was flying, the staff offered to ship my books home to me. The package arrived yesterday as they promised and they even wrapped the books with great care! Super classy to go the extra mile!
Ryan was very helpful finding me an unusual book I was looking for from out of state. The shipping was fast and the packaging was bomb-proof. I look forward to doing more bust with them again, in the future.
Very cute "hoke is the wall" bookstore with a huge collection. Their rare book section is a fanatic selection to even just look at, so much history in such a small place. It's also really cheap, I got a slightly used copy of Dune for $5
I don't get to the cities very often, and I'm not like a huge fan of the campus area, but I make especially sure to make a trip over to the book house. I feel like a quaint farmers market lesbian hipster when I go thru their bookshelves, which is basically my dream. They don't have a ton of 'new' releases, but that almost makes it better!
The collection was so comprehensive, and the place was cozy as well. The prices were great, and the staff were friendly! Would definitely revisit before I travel back to my hometown, and would come again whenever I’m in Dinkytown
Great book store. Decent prices. You will save money by going to this bookstore over Barnes and Noble, and dare I say you are more likely to find an interesting book. Note that this is mostly if not entirely a used book store, so you may not find EXACTLY what you seek if you are seeking a particular novel. But if you want to get lost in a new finding, go find that book here.
