“Books on the Square is big for an indie bookstore and they feature a HUGE selection. If you're a book lover like me you could spend hours in here! Highly recommend if you're in Mystic :)”

“The hot chocolate was good, the eavesdropping even better. Cafe is sweet but the bookstore is a true star. Ended up chatting with person at front desk and got great recommendations”

“This was my second time at the Waterfire Art Center for an event. This time I attended Little City Thrifty Vintage event. There were many vendors with beautiful vintage fashion clothing, shoes, decors that you could choose from or just walk around to meet many of the business owners to know more about their shops location if you weren't able to make a purchase at that time. I did a whole walk around.”

“I was walking around Wayland Square and came across Paper Nautilus. There are 2 floors of rare used books and mix of flea market treasures, antiques, and postcards. I spotted a cute teapot set, vintage clothing, and so much more. It was cool to check out the store. The workers were very friendly and offered their assistance. There are a few parking spots available in front of the store.”

“Most incredible experience my daughter has ever had. Her goal is to attend Brown, so on vacation we decided to check out the bookstore and grab a souvenir. The staff there was so incredible including one amazing woman who decided to bless it forward. It made the entire vacation. We cannot thank her enough. Hopefully she sees this time know how much it meant. Loyal future Brown kid!”

“It’s similar to the Blick store, except they have a smaller selection with more variety. I would even recommend the 3D works store as it has a similar aesthetic and is geared towards mixed media art. The 2D store has a gift shop attached, a cafe on the second floor managed by THE sweetest woman. And RISD merch designed by the school alumni. It’s definitely a student hotspot, but it’s welcoming to any kind of artist or creative. And the staff are very friendly so don’t be afraid to ask for help.As for the pricing, it’s comparable to Blick or Jerry Artarama, and can be discounted if you’re a student. Overall, great location, good staff and affordable prices.”

“This bookstore is pretty tucked away, and confusing for first time visitors. I’ve used google maps to drive here and it always leaves you up the street. Go down that one way street, across the gated parking lot there’s an opening with a sign up top. Then stay to the left, down the stairs to a shady looking basement—that’s the bookstore.The actual store itself is your run of the mill university bookstore. It’s got affordable school supplies, overpriced snacks and JWU apparel. I’ve picked up all of my textbooks here without a problem, and 5 minutes tops. There’s an older gentleman who works the desk and has for years and he’s very polite and helpful. Ask him for help if you need it.”

“This store has pretty much everything you want for art supplies from brushes to oil to watercolors to markers and pencils. I have been there a few times to get supplies for my painting hobby that I need to be more focused on.. It's walking distance from the condo, so no parking issues for me. The staff working here is efficient and friendly.”

“Stages of Freedom is not just a fantastic bookstore, it is also where you can sign up for informative walking tours that explore Black history in Rhode Island, you can sign your kids up for free swimming lessons, you can have a long and deep conversation with Ray Rickman about Black art and culture in Providence, and sooooo much more. They also have a small museum dedicated to Christiana and Edward Bannister. Masks are required and provided.”

“A mixed used & new book store. I’d hoped for a larger number of used but they have a fairly wide selection for the size! They also have some records, a really nice/large cookbook section, and journals.”
