Have you ever blacked out in a bookstore and walked out with 14 books? I love this bookstore so much, I had to cut myself off and leave before I had a chance to look at all the shelves. My mom didn't love the chaos of piles of books everywhere, but that's one of the reasons I loved it so much. The store is bursting with books, piles on top of shelves, piles on the floor in front of shelves, massive shelves filled with books. I loved it so much. Also, how could you not love their name? I had a great time and will definitely be back!

Prices are pretty standard for the Detroit area as far as used books go, but this store has one of the most phenomenal selections of Sci Fi/Fantasy/Horror novels I've ever seen in a used bookstore. Many copies of the big names/titles in genre fiction and countless hidden gems, so chances are they'll have what you're looking for and all kinds of stuff you didn't know you needed. The staff is very friendly and helpful at looking for a specific title and/or giving recommendations.

My new favorite bookstore. It looks small, but this is definitely a case of "it's bigger on the inside!" Shelves are tall and every square inch is used. The book selection is excellent. There's no chaff or filler anywhere. I have found things at Toadvine that I have literally been seeking for years, not to mention a lot of amazing things I didn't know existed. There are some fascinating rare books in the cases up front, and in the back room is a great selection of YA / children's books and graphic novels. The graphic novel selection includes classics and important works by creators from around the world.The staff is always helpful and welcoming and are great to talk to about books!Prices are quite reasonable. Toadvine also buys books and gives fair trade value for things.Perhaps best of all, Toadvine cares about, and supports, local authors. There are comics and novels by local writers, book editions from local publishers, and they also host author events in the back room. This place is a treasure, so go check it out!

Great selection of used, new and collector item books. I found a copy of this classic, the first novel written by Thomas Harris, the notable author of the Hannibal Lecter stories. Toadvine has a variety of fiction and nonfiction, mysteries, pulp style paperbacks, graphic novels, and more.

My kids and I love popping into Toadvine Books! There is a kid-friendly room at the back with so many children’s books (and toys which my kids love to play with while I browse!) and we left today with a stack of books! Staff was so friendly and helpful. I can’t wait to stop in again soon!
