The Town Book Store

Upon entering The Town Book Store, the first thing you notice is the warmth and coziness. The yellow wood and soft light make for an incredible book-​browsing atmosphere.
The next thing you notice is the rudeness of the staff.
One visit to The Town Book Store was my first and last. When I walked in, I was barely greeted. I sent out a friendly «hello,» only to be returned with a monotone «tell us if you need anything.» Eye-​contact was sparse and the warm energy ran icy in a split second. They seemed preoccupied. While I realize that everyone has their days, I also know for a fact that I did not feel welcome. I felt like an intruder. I’d feel more welcome and comfortable at my local Barnes & Noble, which I’d recommend before The Town Bookstore.
The three stars are for the book selection. I must say, they display great reads.

This is the best bookstore I have ever been into. They get a great selection of advance reader copies, the staff is amazingly helpful and friendly. I love coming here!

I really love this store. There’s a great selection of books and the staff is friendly.
Also, I often need to buy obscure computer programming books that usually can’t be found in stores. I used to rely on Amazon for this, but nowadays I just stop by the Town Book Store and place an order. It gets here from their supplier in two days, which is faster than Amazon can typically do, and my purchase goes to a local business, which is great. I’ve even been able top order books here that hadn’t even been made available on Amazon yet.
Definitely worth checking out.
