Reviews

  • Rebecca Froehlich

Well-curated selection of fiction, poetry, and books on current events and theory. I enjoy their $1-5 sale shelf. They do great community outreach as well through the Minnesota Women's Prison Book Project, prison pen-pal outreach, and hosting a lot of events. Definitely worth your support!

  • Megan C

Excellent radical bookstore - completely volunteer run, with an awesome zine inventory and books from small presses that you might have trouble finding elsewhere. A great alternative literature spot in the interesting, historical Seward neighborhood.

  • Sarah Huntley

I can’t say I agree with all of the politics of this bookstore but I did find their selections very admirable. I was able to find two books to buy in such a robust small selection which is incredible. I walked to the store so parking wasn’t

I found this place by chance the night before, when I was looking for coffee shops in the area. This is a pretty small space, but very warm and inviting. These folks are still practicing covid safety protocols which is extremely reassuring,

What a fantastic bookstore. Found some excellent stuff to read and had a nice chat with the workers (all volunteer!) as well. I was just visiting town and they gave me a kick ass list of things to do that I cherished for the rest of my trip.

  • Jacqueline Johnston

You can find unique reads of all kinds and some art (cards) that you won't find anywhere else. However, it needs more energy: more people stopping by, more in-store events, more life in general. Also a bit spendy, which reflects the

If you are looking for the Unusual, this is the place!! Small comfortable spot to browse. A Used book rack and small local homemade booklets on a variety of topics. Could and have spent hours browsing everytime I go to Minneapolis.

  • Eve Marie

Great selection of books. Outdoor tables set up for a great soical distancing shopping experience. If they dont have what you are looking for they are willing to look it up and see if they can find it for you.

Came here to donate supplies to the Sanctuary Supply Depot and left with some free things off the free shelf, a button, and a nice embroidered patch. Lots of very cool books in this place! I'll be back.

  • Nicoh Ross

Look, I'm pretty progressive, but this place was a snoozefest. The book selection was slim, and the staff was like... very tense. Seems like they need a vacation.
