I've been living in Amherst for a few years but just discovered this place today, and totally fell in love right away! The whole place has a cool, unique vibe, and Cindee was very welcoming and helpful, and a joy to meet. 😊 Wonderful customer service, she went above and beyond to help me out with what I was looking for, and I can't wait to come back soon and spend some time browsing the selection. Def feels like the kind of place where I'll stumble upon a cool weird random book that I didn't even know I needed before!

I live only a short 5 minutes away from this diamond in the rough. It is my absolute favorite shop I have ever stepped in to. The exquisite shop owner is both charming and kind and has two lovely cats to accompany her ! Her selection of books is amazing and it’s my first choice of shop whenever I’m in the downtown area. Some days the hours can be inconsistent but to me- it adds charm and makes it much more worth the wait ! Please visit this little piece of paradise whenever you are in downtown Amherst <33

A very cute little bookshop! So many books to browse through, with lots of little antiques and trinkets hidden amongst them. Very handsome cat there to help you pick out books (and to lure you into the shop!)Lovely shop, happy plants, the sweetest shopkeep. You can't go wrong stopping here!

Wonderful store, with curiosities and delights hidden for the eye. Amazing shopkeep with delightful quips. Cats to keep you company, plants crawling across the walls...a bookstore truly from one's dreams.

It's the cozy bookstore every book lover sees when they close their eyes. You could go 100 times and not have the same experience. Even just looking in the window is a little break from reality. Sweet place.

What a charming bookstore! I was immediately captivated when I read the sign on the door: "Please do not let the cat out." My visit was too short, and I will return soon. Such places are to be treasured when found.

It looked nice through the windows but was not open when it was supposed to be (after 4 PM) and there were no store hours posted at the store.

Make sure you meet Sid, the cat. He’s so laid back even dog lovers are going to like him.
