Had a great time looking at everything they have to offer! Much more than a book store!

Just returned to the area, and Janke Book Store remains trapped in time. But in a very good way. The people there are always generous, and the book selection remains diverse and eclectic. If you love bookstores, Janke Books is a destination you will want to add to your GPS.

Always a great time in Janke! I get my birthday cards there as well as books new and used! One of my "must stop" places when I'm in downtown Wausau! Beware of the grizzly bear!

Great selection of books, as well as unique gifts and kids toys. They also have a small selection of art supplies. Customer service is always great!

I hate that I love this place so much. From amazing books and trinkets to the basement O’ wonder, one of the the oldest bookstores in Wisconsin doesn’t seem old at all. Flavored with Janke humor, you’ll love it. Or I’ll personally buy another book just to spite your horrible taste.

A must-stop for book lovers and creatives visiting the Wausau area. Superb collection of new books, games, and gifts on the main floor and (my favorite) a ton of interesting used books in the basement, some dating back to 19th Century. Some gems are always to be found when I visit. There's a great history to this store — worth the time to ask one of the staff to tell you about it. And they're always very friendly.

If I lived in the area I would be a regular customer. There is a nice selection of puzzles, children's activities, educational materials and if course, books.

A bookstore lover's dream! Great displays for kids. Prices are reasonable for a bookstore. Love all the creative, personal touches!

I stopped here with a friend a few days ago because we were walking around checking out local businesses that we haven’t been to yet. It’s such a cute place and has so many different things to buy! I wasn’t expecting to see other items that weren’t books. I’ll definitely be back!

It's so awesome to have a physical book store to go to and this book store has a ton of books plus gifts, cards, calendars, puzzles, and so much more. Friendly owner and staff as well. Every time I'm in Wausau with my sister this is a must stop.

A wonderful store with more than books: gifts, games, writing and art supplies.
