Don’t waste your time if it’s not summer! We are very disappointed! This used to be our favorite used bookstore anywhere. Since it has been under new ownership we have come three times during advertised open hours and the store is closed. If you are not going to be open please don’t advertise as such.

Formerly Black River Books and now under new ownership this store has the same energy with some cool improvements that have made the experience even better. We met the new owner when we visited on vacation and we're so ecstatic to have our now 11 year tradition continue of going to this store while staying in South Haven!!!

Is there anything better than a used book store? This one was more organized than many of the books on the floor used book stores. I didn't have a lot of time to peruse, but still found a book from my wishlist. Would be my new happy place if I lived in South Haven.

Hands down one of the best book stores in Southwest Michigan! Not only is their selection great but the new owners are also terrific people and have a wonderful vision for their shop. South Haven is lucky to have this new addition.

I'm a big fan of this bookstore. There are so many shelves to go through, we wish we had more time! The books are organized and the staff is very kind. There is a massive range of used books to look through. Any book lover should make a stop! I appreciate their hours as well.

Interesting selections, great atmosphere. I get lost for hours in this store every summer when we visit the area. Love it!

Cozy independent book store with a good selection of used children's books. Friendly, helpful staff.

Once could spend hours at the Black River Books store. They have shelves stacked with old and older books and I found it very interesting. I bought a Hardy Boys novel. On a second visit I did not buy anything, but a grey-haired clerk snapped at me about putting a book back. I had done just that, in the exact spot required, so don't know what her fuss was about.
The store is for sale.

This is a truly delightful secondhand bookstore with an excellent collection and a charming and knowledgeable staff. Sadly, the owners are looking to sell it, and I only hope they find a buyer who wishes to maintain the current ethos. And to top it off, the prices are very reasonable!
