  This is a fantastic bookstore! Super knowledgeable staff and a larger selection of books than you may imagine.
  
  Admittingly, one could order off Amazon for a slightly lower price, but that would be a mistake for those seeking a mystery novel. Coming here adds to the whole book-buying experience and one will discover other cool books they may have missed out on.
  
  It includes a local writer's section and the store also holds regular popular events. There are book readings by best-selling authors and those authors aspiring to become best-sellers.
  
  This store and its staff are a dying breed, one that must be treasured and given as much of our business as possible otherwise we risk losing this unique experience in exchange for point and click ordering. Shop local!

  I had my bedroom closets and laundry room designed by Erica Heath and the experience was wonderful and easy! I really had no idea what I really wanted other than the fact that I wanted it to be clean,organized and off the floor. Erica made several suggestions with finishes and design that were important to me. Her design also allowed for changes as my kids grow into the house. Her input was so valuable and I love my laundry room now which is a good thing since I practically live there. I am so pleased and happy with the product and the quality that I am ready to do the rest of my house!!

  When I encounter outright rude behavior in retail establishments, I always share it. My visit today to:
  
  Murder on the Beach Mystery Bookstore 273 NE 2nd Ave in Delray Beach
  
  merits a share. As an independently published author, I try to get my work out there. Reading about the store online, the reviews said that the staff was rude. I take such things with a grain of salt and see for myself.
  
  I met Joanne, who said she was an employee, not the owner, and complimented her on the nice looking space (it is!) I then introduced myself and asked if they carry independent local authors. She said no, that the whole shop would be full of such books since so many people were self-publishing. Completely acceptable.
  
  I thanked her for talking to me and said this was the first time in the shop, a friend had just told be about it. Joanne then added, "That is another reason we wouldn't carry your book , you are not a customer."
  
  Taken aback, I told her again it was my first visit and I might have become a customer whether they carried my book or not. I also told her that I read online commentary that the staff of the store was rude. She laughed and said, "Well now you know it's true."

  I was expecting something like the movie "Little Shop Around the Corner" book store. The books were all there, but the customer was totally ignored. A woman sat at a computer as you entered, no hello, no can I help you, what are you looking, from her. She sat the whole time transfixed on her computer, typing away. No one was in the store and I don't blame them for not going to this book store. I purchased 3 paperbacks, not the latest and the price of the books came to $40.00 which was ridiculous. If the woman was friendly, showed me around the store and suggested some books, I would not have minded paying that amount. But I got no service. The beauty of most of these books stores is their personal attention to their customers. I will never return.
