We shop at Schulers Books because we feel it is important to support local businesses, even if the prices are higher than purchasing online. While shopping together at the Eastwood store, my wife pointed out a book she would like, which happened to be on sale. The following day I visited the Okemos store, which is closer to my home, to buy the book. I was surprised to see that it was not on sale and asked the store personnel. They explained that each store manager has the autonomy to place items on sale and that I would have to return to the Eastwood store if I wanted to get the sale price. While still in the store, I brought up the book on the Barnes & Noble Web site and purchased it for the lower price with free shipping to my home. I am posting this as a review because, amaizingly, Schulers Web site does not have a portal or provide an email address to contact the store.

This is the best of the book store options locally. They have a good selection of books and other random gifts including used books.

Snobby customer service and overpriced gag gifts.

Shame on you! You denied a teacher her teacher discount because she works in an alternative classroom where she team teaches. Does this make her less of a teacher? NO! You disgust me! I encourage teachers to boycott this store until they can actually support ALL educators!

Fantastic staff, everyone is so knowledgable and can help you find exactly what you are looking for! Also, they have great events, food and coffee! I just love the atmosphere of this book store and feel happy to be spending my money at a book store that is a very small regional/local chain!

Schuler: the last good bookstore in the Lansing area. Do you need a trade paperback size copy Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s Strange Pilgrims? No problem. Try finding the same book at a Barnes n’ noble, and if you’re lucky enough to find an associate who even knows your author, chances are they’re not going to have the book anyway. Schuler, on the other hand, is for book lovers. Not only are they likely to have the book you want, they’re likely to be able to sell it to you in hardcover or a few different paperbacks. I’ve ordered books from Schuler multiple times when the associate was also able to find a better copy of the book than the one I thought I wanted. If you hate books and people who read, keep ordering from Amazon– you’ll be well served. If you like to read and care about your collection, or if you’re buying a book for someone who does, head to Schuler and cut out the guess work and headache.

It’s a nice bookstore, but they don’t seem to offer an experience that keeps me from going to Amazon or the local coffeeshop. As bookstores go, it’s big and a great place for Christmas or birthday shopping. As cafes go, it stinks. Everything is overpriced and just average quality. The seating area is old and dimly lit — and the Wi-Fi works only intermittently! When I asked why it kept cutting out, I was told to move(away from the outlets). Yet, the stronger signal kept resetting itself just the same. The good thing about this, of course, is that you can meet with your(study, bible, etc.) group comfortably — because no one is here! Unremarkable experiences do not make for many repeat visits.

Great store. This is the way Borders, back in it’s funky-college town, Ann Arbor-roots day, was. Borders whored itself out of course, landing in bankruptcy after it couldn’t decide what it sold and why it sold it. I went her with the GF and was blown away by the concept of used and new books side by side. They have a really great café with tasty food and the staff. Great selection, well laid out, and I can’t wait to return.

While C. and her brother were shopping for binoculars, her mom and I killed time in this mall bookstore. I spent most of my time in the magazine racks, which were wide ranging but not as all inclusive as those at your standard Barnes & Noble. Regardless, I picked up an issue of Maximum Rocknroll. One of the neat things about the store is that they stock new books, with a smaller selection of used books nearby. I flipped through the used science fiction paperbacks and didn’t really see anything I wanted, but they did have a good selection. An interesting hybrid approach to bookselling.
