Love this neighborhood bookstore, so hard to find one these days. They always have a great selection of books on sale so I make it a habit to stop by and see what's available whenever I'm in town.
Nice store. Little bit cramped, but all that means is you have more to sift through in a denser environment. Loads of books, and nice selection.
Nice people, good selection and recommendations, fun to just wander around in it too. Yay local book stores!
Great old-fashioned local independent bookstore, with all kinds of books piled floor to ceiling, staff picks and recommendations. Lots of browsing opportunity - 3 floors of book store, and it's right here on the Pearl Street Mall. The soul of boulder.
My favorite bookstore since I moved to CO :)
Love the used books section A LOT!
Very pleasant experience. I loved feeling like I did as a child in bookstores! Friendly workers and a good selection of books.
Love this bookstore! Great selection of books and a wonderful kids section. They also have a good greeting card and sticker selection!
Nice people and cool library style book store. It's a must of you love books. They have a huge selection! I bought a crochet book and made this bichon amigurumi
Still one of the best indoor experiences in Boulder. Broad interests, yet nicely curated collections of books, puzzles, clothing and more. Our brief stops to browse can turn into an hour or more, and we never leave empty handed.
Awful selection of Christian literature, unless you're looking for books from a humanist perspective.
But, if you're looking for an abundannt selection of books on witchcraft, the metaphysical, etc. then this is the place for you.
I understand Boulder is a liberal town but the ownership obviously doesn't believe in 'coexisting' with everyone and providing quality products to everyone. It's unfortunate for so many potential new customers. Just trying to understand this business approach.
Love this cute bookstore in the heart of Boulder. It's got every book I've needed, and it has a great selection to browse through. Always friendly staff to help you find a book or a recommendation.
Cozy bookstore with many nooks and corners to explore. Helpful staff.
Went here for the first time yesterday and was mesmerized by the huge variety of genres they offer. I wish we lived in the area so we could visit here all of the time! The staff was very friendly too. We could have spent all day here!
I love supporting local bookstore and this one is very cool. The two separate entrances makes the store flow nicely. Good signage and excellent service.
This place is a gem, an independent book store with great staff recommendations and wide range of books. Helpful and knowledgable staff across the board.
The lectures that I've attended here have all been great.
Got good money from my used books to buy more used books. Great service each time I go in.
independent bookstore, dog friendly. What's not to like.
Great little book store right in main area of boulder!
Gorgeous bookstore, amazing date spot, so easy to lose yourself in for a few minutes or hours, love it!
Super cool old bookstore for wandering around. Large selection and pretty quick turnover/restocking of the books. They also offer used books at reasonably competitive prices. I find myself stopping by here pretty much every time I'm in the Pearl St Mall area
What a treasure in downtown Boulder! The place is huge and there are a few "hidden" areas. Their is a large ballroom upstairs that is filled with books along the walls and has space for presentations, etc. I loved being in there just wandering the stacks of books. The staff was very friendly and the books are reasonably priced. What a great place to spend 1.5 hours.
Fun place to hang, browse, and shop! We were here on a Monday afternoon around 4pm and it wasn't that busy. The first floor is where most of the customers are milling about. My favorite section is the toys/children's area. They have an interesting selection of toys and creative things on the first floor. We entered at their 11th Street door and exited through their Pearl Street door which is where the checkout is. The 11th Street door is where you go to sell them your books, or at least that's what I overhead someone doing. The second floor contains mainly adult fiction/nonfiction books and is somewhat quiet with one or two other groups of people. Near the second floor entryway, they have this cool Buddha Board for test play that is tempting to buy. The third floor is where the zen space is, from floor pillows, meditation books, incenses, to massaging tools you can try before buying. I was tempted to buy the cedar incense but checked reviews and decided it was cheaper to purchase online. However I did end up buying some erasers that were the same as manufacturer prices and cheaper than Amazon. I also bought this cute, tiny figurine with no barcode and the cashier scanned it as a $1.50 author button instead of the marked $0.75. I didn't realize this until I left so make sure to check your receipt. Overall: a very eclectic, cozy place to hang.
Great local bookstore - helpful staff and a grand selection.
Sooo much to see, great bookstore with something for everyone!
Huge selection and great people. If you're looking for a good book, they're likely to have something you'll like.
Great store, very friendly atmosphere, awesome selection of books
You're walking in the stacks. There are people around and your book is done. Out of the corner of your eye you spot it:
The Sequel.
Loved this place! The atmosphere and the structure itself lend an uplifting hand to the browsing experience. The selection is good, the prices are reasonable, and whilst the you-know-who chain uses florescent lights and perfect ninety-degree angles to bleach a bit of the joy out of your brick-and-mortar experience, the Boulder Book Store has shadows and nooks and crannies and oddly shaped spaces that make wandering about a delight.
They have everything... Limited sections in African American history but hey this is America
Pretty cool books, only the words inside them were a bit too crazy for me, if you know what I mean! ;) OMG!!!!
Great bookstore, so many different things to look at.
horrible place. Kicked me out for being in the store a few hours and not buying any items. I have severe health issues and the bookstore few places I feel comfortable, but apparently me being in the store perusing made the staff feel uncomfortable. Manager decided to follow me around the store and accost me for not having any items in hand.
Best book store in Boulder, one of my favorite in the country.
Absolutely fantastic local bookstore! Prices are generally at MSRP, but the selection and extremely helpful staff make this well worth a visit, especially if you're interested in browsing rather than just finding a specific title. The kids section is among the best.
Amazing choices, so far have found every weird book I was ever looking or. Also the vibe, the vibe is just worth going for!
Lots to choose from, helpful staff, lines move quickly.
Love the climate and the precautions they're currently taking. I also enjoy the employees getting excited when I ask about a book and then hurry to recommended multiple more authors that I might like. Prices are noticeably higher than you'll find online, but I think it's more than worth the price to support them.
Great independent bookstore, nice variety of books, eclectic atmosphere and stocked from the basement to the second floor with, not just current reading but also fun little things you really don't need but can't leave without.
Great feel for a great book store. I especially like the large section specific to Colorado
This bookstore is 3 stories and great to browse. They are very strict with covid guidelines. It's counterintuitive in such a place to not sit and read, but that is life in a pandemic. Charming surroundings, helpful staff.
Sweet bookstore on Pearl Street. Great selection and recommendations, and lots of books from local authors.
Great cash prices or store credit for your used books!
Love this place they have a great selection of old discount books.
Right up there with The Tattered Cover as the best independent bookstores in the US.
Absolutely incredible bookstore with a vast selection of new and used books. Multiple floors (including a basement level).
Love this bookstore. One of my all time favorites. Excellent selection and the staff was very nice. I feel like they are taking the virus very seriously, which made me feel better.
One of my favorite bookstores. And they're being very responsible with all the COVID-19 precautions.
This place is huge. A book lover's paradise. You could spend hours here.
It's a wonderful book store besides it being pretty over priced and extremely hot inside.
A great local bookstore I didn t realize how few of these there still are the experience I wat better than shopping online
A Boulder institution. Obligatory stop on Pearl street by locals and visitors.
Knowledgeable and friendly staff, well curated selection and good covid readiness
Great section of staff picks, interesting book talks, extensive magazine section.
Cool bookstore but the staff was extremely rude when I tried to exit through the front. I have to say I was really disappointed.
Knowledgeable employees willing to help kids find a book (or 2) they'll love
Ahhh! Love this store, I will miss it when I move. Lots of stacks to wander in and get inspired.
Huge selection in a historic building. This place is really a treasure.
Awesome little book store. Has a very interesting selection of books that you wouldn't find anywhere else. Lots of little nooks to get lost in and it's easy to sink a few hours into just browsing through the store. Highly recommend popping in here if you haven't been in before. Nice staff and kept clean.
Cool place for maps. They have maps of Mexico. They have maps of Utah. They even have a ton of maps of Canada. The book selection wasn't super diverse but they had a few interesting reads. I wish they carried a more diverse selection.
Cute and quiet, much larger than you'd think at first glance, as there are hidden rooms and corners, upstairs and basements. You're practically guaranteed to find the book you want here, and you'll enjoy finding it
One of my Boulder staples. I love coming to this bookstore, always unique finds and the staff is always friendly and welcoming!
This place is fantastic! So many great cards, and I couldn't stop drooling over all the different kinds of wrapping paper.
Great bookstore where you are guaranteed to find what you want with surprises thrown in. Friendly staff to help you.
This place was amazing! They have three floors of books, and a truly great selection. They also seem to have great deals on used books placed throughout the store. If you love books, this is a great place to visit.
Massive selection, friendly staff, solid recommendations.
Great to see a busy bookstore! They had the book I was looking for!
Best store I have been in for Covid measures. Plus a treasure of an inventory and staff.
Great place to visit. Fantastic selection of books. You must go there.
Wide variety, good recommendations, comfortable places to sit
Coolest bookstore ever.
It feels like your in a book.
I love seeing a thriving independent bookstore. They have a good selection of graphic novels for kids and Safari figurines which brought my kids in. The staff I spoke to in the back were not exactly knowledgeable but they tried.
Support local merchants! Especially when they're part of the soul of the town.
