Yelp.com Review - by jack w.

5.0 of 5 stars. Before Half.com this was the only choice for an extensive book search. You could spend a day here and never notice it. Every shelf offers treats.

Book Lover's Dream

This wonderful, wonder-filled store is the book lover's dream. Wander for hours on end, among the titles that beg you to "take a look!" Take a look - and you've put it in your "BUY" stash! A true Detroit treasure!!

Yelp.com Review - by Aaron K.

5.0 of 5 stars. So, at first I was kind of underwhelmed by this place. It is in an isolated part of the city, the French section is not very good, and there is SOOOO much hype. I still don't think the hype is…
