Big place, that much is true, but the selection is just okay. Lots of old books, most of them simply out of date as opposed to collectible. Still, it's a cool place to wonder around if you love books.
One of my favorite places. Books galore. Nice people work here
I probably have a book addiction. 😀
I could get lost in here for hours. The store is huge but well organized. Between the map and the friendly staff you will find what you're looking for. Lots of old and harder to find books.
I absolutely love this place. I heard about it through some website that had attractions specific to certain states and the idea intrigued me. There are so many books all around! Definitely a place for the book lover to snake through on a rainy day!
Love this place, if you appreciate old books, you can spend many hours browsing the shelves. I find some new treasure each time I go. Staff is super nice and helpful.
Good thing they have maps because it's easy to get lost in this warehouse of books. There are so many books it's overwhelming. If you're just browsing, you might want to focus on one floor per visit.
It was a perfect adventure hidden in plain sight of downtown Detroit. Private parking lot, super smart staff, and amazing books stuffing a huge building in a way that is filled with more than anyone can ever not be entertained with
Great place to spend an afternoon - extremely easy to lose track of time in the 4-story fortress of books.
I loved this place soo much. Its the best book store by far that I have been in. One of the great things about this place is the variety of books and types of books that hey had that made me fall in love with the place. 10/10 would go again
An old four story building (once a glove factory) stuffed with used books. You're given a map at the door to find your way around. It's a fun treasure-hunting experience! Staff members carry walkie talkies to quickly communicate with different floors to help you find the books you want. Be sure to bring a list!
This place has books galore on many subjects, friendly and helpful staff. I do wish they had more recent computer and engineering books, but despite that they have an impressive WW2 and Civil War collection. They also have a lot to offer for fiction aficionados.
Top notch good books and greater prices not easy to find friendly service today but here it is still used!
It's just really great.
What a wonderful place! Four big floors of used books, plus some magazines, posters, games, audio books, etc thrown in. If you love books, then you must visit. It's a shabby place, but that's part of the charm.
Don't ever let John King touch a valuable book of yours: He may damage it, like he damaged mine. Took a first edition Mark Twain book to the store to see if King wanted to buy it. He handled it very roughly, and broke the binding -- in my opinion, deliberately. Then he acted like it was already broken. A first-class jerk. I mean, who would do that? He can not be trusted with other people's property. Beware.
I just went here today and it was magical. It made me feel nice to put it simply. Although the bookcases sort of give you little room at times it didn't hinder my experience in the slightest. I highly recommend going! ♡
