101 N Main St, Verona“Bookstore, cocktails and caffeine that could very well be the coziest in Madison! Outdoor seating when the weather is nice. A mural is planned for the west end of the building soon. Fabiola's next door has your Italian food fix plus culinary items to take home.”
“Noble Knight is a great board game source. I've bought many hard-to-find games from them. I've also sold a lot of games to them. Most recently, I helped my late gaming friend's wife sell most of his game collection to Noble Knight. They gave fair prices for the games and made it super easy to ship the games to them. Everyone I've been in contact with at NK has been very friendly and helpful.”

1863 Monroe St, Madison“I've been to this bookstore a few times but went back a couple of weeks ago for an author talk when a couple of friends from the Madison area published a book. Though it's a small space, MTM made a cozy nook work for the 25 or so guests. I love local book stores and try to do everything I can to avoid buying online and patronize places like this. Thanks MTM!”

6682 Odana Rd, Madison“Going here is always such a treat! Everyone is always so helpful and nice, and I never feel guilty buying my kids more books when they’re only $0.98! Truly a gem of a small business in Madison.”
“They have everything you need for your family. It's not just books, games, toys, Pokémon cards, etc. It's a great atmosphere to spend a few hours there with your family and buy everything you need.”
“This place is magical! It has amazing energy, beautiful crystals and spiritual products .Lydia is the best! She is super knowledgeble and went above and beyond to help us!”

670 State St, Madison“Person behind desk was a well thought out piece of information for almost everyone thinking aloud my visit. Most enjoyable hearing people ask about books. I told my family I was going to a movie. Best live action one yet. Modern thoughts in 21st century, just a beat to hear if your ever lonely and a book store is open. Alone no more. So many friends to find.”
“It's huge. I only went to the first floor, but I think there are four. It's also kinda icky, like sweaty, plus you have to touch a whole bunch of door handles. There's a coffee shop in the icky stairwell if you want to get the plague. The workers are nice and helpful. I hope they don't get the plague from the icky door handles. I'll attach a picture of my dog instead of the shop.”
“Spectacular. I needed a Russian-English English-Russian dictionary of a small size to carry, but still legible. Found a perfect one, durable plastic waterproof cover, about $6. Clearly half-price too. I like that bookstore; often the books appear new, even the "used" volumes are never "abused".”

8413 Excelsior Dr #130-B, Madison“I don't usually write reviews, but I was so impressed with Evening Star Books that I wanted to share my experience for anyone concerned about the condition of the books when mailed. I recieved my order in a box, with the excess spaced filled with shipping paper and the book wrapped in bubble wrap. That is the way you ship a book and protect it. I have ofter recieved books from other dealers (and Amazon) with the book shipped in parcel bag and nothing else. I look forward to ordering more from Evening Star Books.”
“This store is clean and has a good selection, but some uw merchandise is only sold at their location on State St. It is much smaller in size so, it does have a smaller selection but they still sell many different types of high-quality uw apparel for all ages, art supplies, and gifts. The bookstore staff are helpful and patient.”
