J Michaels Books is a local bookstore with a great curation of new, used, and some collectible books, including a whole section of signed books and some desirable sale volumes. The store is much bigger than it looks and is crammed full of books, with something for everyone. The selection is excellent, with captivating titles and eccentric covers, and stock that isn't something typically found online. They have a little section dedicated to specific series. The store is organized with particularly loved displays in the front and sells little inventions like "book darts." The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful; everyone that works there knows their books. Customer service is good, with kind and welcoming employees who answer questions. It is a great value for the price and makes it easy to shop small and local. The store is relaxing, and visitors always find a book they can't live without. They are also very good at suggestions for gifts. If a book is not in stock, they are happy to order it. It is a great local bookstore to support.
An amazing independent book seller. New and used inventory.
