Many consider it a must-visit when in Flint, ensuring that every trip results in new discoveries and memorable experiences.
Had live music, tons of records and a great classic scifi/fantasy and YA selection. Prices also were shockingly great!

I love it here! So many (used) books, I left with an entire bag full. They also host poetry nights which are a blast. The atmosphere is eccentric and interesting, while being totally comforting. Staff is always awesome. Can’t wait for my next trip to Totem!

04/20/2024: visited on a Saturday. Browsed through the books and the used CDs. Pleased to find Eddie Money. We will be back to explore the rest of the store and I need to find some Queensryche.
